[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 583017, member: 11791"] Regular therapist is trained to deal with neurotypical people. If your kid is wired differently... their approaches do not work. neuropsychologist is is trained in both the neurological and behavioral aspects, and can do a better job of a comprehensive evaluation. However, they are not the only option. We have used child developmental/behavioral teams out of childrens' or teaching hospitals, as well as PhD-level psychologists who specialize in comprehensive evaluations. Really, it's about starting with a different assumption. Most tdocs assume the behavior is the problem, and set out to correct it. However... for lots of "our" kids around this board... the behavior is just a symptom. We found that we made little progress until we started getting real answers and accurate dxes. Is this your bio-child? or adopted? What was she like as a baby and toddler and pre-schooler? [/QUOTE]
