[QUOTE="totoro, post: 267697, member: 3155"] As for why you would want one. I would want one to rule out other possible diagnosis. Or to rule in other possible diagnosis. To find out if there are any learning disorders. To find out how your child learns in general. Why your child may struggle in life? How you can help her. Lastly how you and you School District can better help your Daughter and what possible placements should and could be set up. There are a ton of reasons to do this evaluation. Anyone who says no, really doesn't understand the thought process that goes into one. Just the possibility of a full and better understanding of your child's mind is worth it. Let alone the possibility of School help, maybe not right now, but even in the future. I would ask whoever is working with her, using these reasons. Be a bit pushy, let them know also that you feel there is something more going on. Be nice but pushy. Ask them who they would recommend. If they have no one in mind I would call around and ask for someone who specializes in pediatric neuro-psychological evaluations. I personally prefer a private one, but others like one through a hospital. You can google Nuero-Psychologists, call them if they can't do it ask them for a recommendation. Just keep asking and calling. Also my Nuero-psychiatric is listed under the CHADD website and CABF website. So you can check different sites, even if she doesn't have that diagnosis. Good luck. I think everyone here who has had it done does not regret it. PS they do cost a lot. [/QUOTE]
