[QUOTE="compassion, post: 291846, member: 6393"] I had my difficult child evaluated by someone with 30 years experience. He did it one hour at a time. I got referral from her psychiatrist. I had her on the list at the local university teaching hospital for neurupsych exam:it took about over 3 months just to get an appointment. She ended up never showing up. If you have a center for autism and related disabilities, they should be able to give you support and referrals. i would go with someone with lots an lots of exerience with educatidnal testing/learning disabilities,etc., a psychologist. A big city should have a number of options as should an university town. I have gotten a lot of support from attendng Nami meetings. We are done testing for now. Even though I highly suspect she is on the autsim spectrum, I am burned out with assessments this past year. We have gone though psycriatric assessments (two), neurosych testing, plus hearing, speech and two hospitlizations (one for 9 days and one for 3.5 months). We are exhausted in many ways. I found out today that she has been accepted at a small school for high risk girls (out patient). She will start in about a month. There is one teaher for 10 girls and 4 counselors for the 30 girls. This will put her in a structrued environment for 6 hours a day. Take care of yourself! Compassion [/QUOTE]
