[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 534589, member: 1550"] A neuropsychologist does intensive testing. They are psychologists (with PhDs) with special training in the brain. I like them best. I went an hour for my son's neuropsychologist. After the evaluation is over (6-10 hours) you usually do not see the neuropsychologist regularly. But he can give a local doctor a very inside look at your child in a way that psychiatrists and regular therapists don't because they don't do the level of testing that NeuroPsychs do. There is also a big difference in education between social workers (some only have four year degrees) therapists (some have a Masters) and Psychologists (PhD). If you care about that. [/QUOTE]
