[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 230262, member: 2423"] We were told that neuropsychologist testing is good for about 3 years. If you don't do it before the school evaluation, the school will do its own testing (since yours is old at this point), and it won't be as comprehensive as a private neuropsychologist evaluation. Because my kids were on medications that couldn't be titrated up or down easily (mood stabilizers or antidepressants), they were tested on medication. In spite of being medicated, the neuropsychologist still saw depression in J and anxiety in M so having the medications on board didn't seem to matter that much. J was also taking a stimulant for his last neuropsychologist evaluation so the neuropsychologist told us to bring him off the stimulant, and he would give it to J halfway through the testing to see if the medication affected his attention. Good luck with whatever you decide. [/QUOTE]
