[QUOTE="justour2boys, post: 291831, member: 6235"] I'm a newbie, but have been lurking for some time. Reading many of your posts have helped me realize I need to seek more help for my oldest difficult child, and hope this will in turn help me. Everything is a fight! My "Mother" powers of diagnosis suspect Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), ODD and dsylexia (sp?). He has had educational testing in the past and we have ruled out ADHD but he does have a diagnosis of Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) (auditory processing disorder). He has a 504 plan and is just hanging on at grade level... but I know there is more. So here is my question... I know I need to start with a neuropsychologist evaluation, but how do I go about finding the right dr? I have tried our local childrens hospital and they don't do them anymore ?!? And my difficult child's pediatrician is no help... doesn't give recommendations. Where do I turn??? Local psychiatric hospital? Any professional organizations? Yellow Pages? Web? What should I be looking for... what questions should I be asking? And direction you can offer would be helpful! thanks [/QUOTE]
