[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 373590, member: 1872"] hi raregem, a neuropsychologist is a long-ish evaluation done by a specialist who evaulates how each specific area of your kid's brain works by doing some specific tests. I was just reading tonight on a thread by Allan and there was a link that describes some of the tests specifically [url]http://home.comcast.net/~kskkight/what_can_parents_do.htm[/url] You won't have to ask for them all though -- if you say you want a neuropsychological evaluation. that will be enough. For the neuropsychs I've had, I've had to fill out forms ahead of time that give my input on the psychological aspects of behavior that you've observed from day-to-day. The evaluator will integrate your input with the more specific tests that s/he will perform, that will highlight the brain's strengths and weaknesses, what skills need to be built up, what skills need to be exploited. "Bad behavior" can be explained and accounted for by the functioning of the brain. For example screaming "no" because his brain doesn't know how to initiate a task. HTH some. I'm sure there is more about neuropsychs in the archives. [/QUOTE]
