[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 84807, member: 3907"] The Neuropsychologist does a lot of in-depth testing that can identify neurological or mood disorders that might be causing your child's ODD. A child psychologist focuses more on talk therapy, behaviour modification, etc. Until you have a good diagnosis for your child, it's hard to decide what sort of intervention is best for your son, whether it's cognitive behavioural, medication, something else, or a combination. Lots of others on the board have also had success with the neuropsychologist evaluations. They tend to spend a lot more time with your child and with your parents, and conduct specific tests to get at the root of the problem. A child psychologist (who doesn't have an MD) can also be an excellent support if you find the right one, and you and your child click with them. You might also want to add a signature to your profile, so that other board members can get a quick summary of you, your family and your child (see the sig after my post for an example). It provides posters with a quick history, so that they can offer specific advice without having to ask you lots of questions each time. There are people on this board with lots of experience and great advice to offer. You've found a great forum. Trinity [/QUOTE]
