[QUOTE="SunnyNC, post: 47656, member: 3459"] I think I need to clarify the amount of time on testing...to be fair towards the neuropsychologist, BUT to not pat her on the back because the amount of time SHE saw him in my opinion pales in comparison to what it seems like many of you have had the doctors see your children before a diagnosis is given. The pediatric neurologist set up the referral and the neuropsychologist's office contacted me to set up 4 appointment times. The first was an initial evaluation to "present my son" so to speak wich was blocked for 1 hour. The 2nd appointment was for the ADOS test..time blocked was 2 hours. The 3rd appointment was for the behavioral test, administered by the tech (psychomotrist)which I was told could take anywhere from 2-4 hours depending on what tests the neuropsychologist wanted run after the ADOS test was completed. We also set up an appointment to go over the test results...time blocked 1 hour. My son and I had our first initial evaluation/interview appointment with the neuropsychologist which was a 1 hour appointment. This was by FAR not enough time, as I had 9 years of information to cram into this hour...and of course we ran out of time (she had other appointments). The 2nd appointment was to be ONLY for the ADOS test...2 hours. About an hour and a 1/2 and my son was back to me and she pulled my husband and I into the office to explain her thoughts (see above). At no time did she mention that she never did the test. She billed us for 3 hours of testing this day...including 1 hour to calculate results. The 3rd appointment was for the behavioral testing; done by the psychomotrist. The NEPSY, CPT II, WISC IV, VMI testing were done this day by the psychomotrist (neuropsychologist tech). All testing took about 2 hours to complete. The 4th appointment was again NOT nearly enough time and we again ran out of our one hour timeframe discussing results with the neuropsychologist. At no point again did she mention to us that she never did the ADOS test with my son that day. It was not until I spoke with the psychomotrist almost 2 weeks later (Friday) and asked about the ADOS test, that I found out it was never administered...which had me begging the question...what on earth did she do with my son during that 1-1/2 hours she had him back there!?! You better believe I will find out...when she gets back in town. [img]:smile:[/img] I hope that clears things up....but it certainly doesn't make it any better. haha [/QUOTE]
