[QUOTE="klmno, post: 178290, member: 3699"] I just read MM's post. (she snuck it in!!) The psychiatric's who give them might approach this differently, but the one who did my son't said she did not diagnosis psychiatric disorders. She did all the tests as MM mentions, and she gave an opinion, but the results were also given to the psychiatrist (psychiatrist). In my sosn' case, the results were most helpful in the areas of ruling out a learning disability, understanding what is going on with him at school (memory issues, etc), and helping the psychiatrist diagnosis him. Of course, we did not know for sure that it was psychiatric (mood disorder) and nothing else without the tests being done. I just wanted to point that out so you would have another vote for the neuropsychologist tests, but also, understand that they might not have all the answers in that report- it might be good for a psychiatrist to review them, too. Also, if your son is not on an IEP at school, the test results are usually helpful in getting IEP approval- it might be a good idea for you to pursue this, in my humble opinion. [/QUOTE]
