I always see people mention neuropsychologist and have looked on the internet trying to get a list in my area but have not found one. Perhaps they are listed under gen psychiatric and I am not seeing if they're a neuro. Do you have to be refered by a pediatrician? I took my difficult child to his Pedi last week and he refered us to a new psychiatric but I forgot to ask about the neuropsychologist thing.
I have always felt that after so many appointments with psychiatric that it just does progress maybe I haven't found the right one or maybe the right kind. I also wanted to know if the testing they do is any different than testing done by a regular psychiatric.
We have always felt that difficult child suffers from more than just ADHD. His evaluation through the school lists him as emotionally distrubed, but that has such a broad meaning. I guess I'm just looking for more answers.
Any info or suggustions on a neuropsychologist would be great.
Thanks
