[QUOTE="Jena, post: 379701, member: 4514"] Jan I was in the same boat as you, yet luckily my husband fiance at the time talked to them and set up a mos. payment plan pretty low via his credit card and that's how they allowed us to do it. i found honestly for us that is the neuropsychologist to not be that valuable. yet other's have had very good experience with-the depth of the testing. it can find learning disabilities, yet our's is all emotional. if i were you at this point i would contact pyschiatrists under your plan, take down two numbers and meet with-them alone. explain what it is you are dealing with and tell them you want a neuropysch exam yet at this time cannot afford one. now a pyschiatrists evaluation def. will not be the same yet at this point it'll be something tangible you can use and refer to. you will come to learn unfortunately as many of us have, you may receive multiple diagnosis's from diff. doctor's. i was stuck in finding a diagnosis for years, it just felt like a never ending puzzle to me as i'm sure you are feeling right now and it made no sense to me. yet what i now and for the past few years have focused on treating the symptoms and only getting into the diagnosis for matters of education and school meetings. maybe you could hook up with-a pyschiatrist and than find a therapist that does cbt. cognitive behavioral therapy. the therapist should also set up mos. meetings with-you the parent. let you vent a little and also help guide you at home as to what you should do in regards to behaviors that need to change or stop. stay with that team a while, bring in your peditrician also and let the 3 of them have contact, sign whatever releases you need as well as the school. it takes time i find, and consistency in treatment (which unfortunately we haven't always had) to really get to a point where you begin to see some sort of light. i'm sorry your struggling, i know that feeling and it's horrible. you feel so out of control of your kid and your own family. i know you have alot to do yet thru it if you can try to find some fun stuff with the family together. that's what we did, we'd do breakfast for dinner, pick a taco night. switch things up around your home a little mite add some light to a tense situation. sounds silly yet little things can work to change the atmosphere a bit. i wish u luck it will get better. jen [/QUOTE]
