[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 599434, member: 84"] Flutter, you should have asked what type of exam............physical or mental. I'm not expert, all I can do is tell you what they did when Travis applied. (and from what I've learned from others.........seems the process is basically the same) He had a "physical exam". In other words, he had a very brief check over by a MD (chosen by SS ), after which I sat there for 20 mins giving the background information. doctor was fine with that since Travis both wanted me there and admitted he could not give doctor the background info........there is just too much to remember. I've been quoting it so often over the years it just comes out automatic. lol He had a vision exam because one of the things he listed was the legally blind thing. (chosen by SS) Run of the mill optometrist . Here I thought they'd have him see a specialist because his visual issues are more neuro related than "disease". He had a psychiatric exam. If you could call it that. According to Travis and others I've spoken with it is basically a memory exam with some psychiatric questions tossed in for good measure. Not a clue of the testers qualifications but it was a mighty simplified exam. He didn't see one specialist. Katie's biomom didn't see one specialist. Several of my friends never saw specialist. Seems like it is basic categories and what is not obvious is going to be based on doctor reports ect. I'm not sure if that is helpful or not. [/QUOTE]
