[QUOTE="buddy, post: 480414, member: 12886"] I didn't go back and read these so if I am wrong about what you are asking , just let me know.... I think we were suggesting a neuropsychological evaluation. These are psychologists who specialze in the connection between brain function and behavior. They give lots of tests like questions, manipulatives, pictures, etc....no worries for your daughter about anything painful. You as a parent will have lots to answer and fill out too. It should be very thorough and ask ahead of time, the things they select will depend on your intake and concerns. They can help with showing learning styles, strengths and weaknesses, possible causes for issues and help with differential diagnosis. They can take one to two days. I have never had my son have to do more than one day. Though when in the hospital one time they broke it up into smaller chunks to get him thru it less painfully (he is extrordinarily distractable). They took advantage of his being hooked up to the eeg, couldn't go anywhere, haha. (yours would be out patient, he just happened to be in for an eeg study) Our neurologist referred us the first time, but I basically called and made the appointment myself each of the other times. havent needed to do it for a long time, we pretty much know what is up and his last school evaluation was 40 something pages long so I think we are ok... If you google neuropsychologist you will be more comfortable. Well worth the effort for sure. [/QUOTE]
