[QUOTE="SnowAngel, post: 86384, member: 4010"] Depending on insurance policies, you may need to speak with your primary care dr first to make a referal to a psychiatric dr. I agree that a neuropsychologist evaluation is best, however it can be a long wait to get a appointment. I would make an appointment with a child psychiatrist until you could get in to see a neuropsychologist. The psychiatrist can help address some current issues you are dealing with, even if you dont want medications until after the neuropsychologist evaluation. My youngest was diagnosis with ADHD first. We dealt with that for almost 2 years before the psychiatrist realized the behaviors were more ODD and disruptive behavior disorder type behaviors. You can also ask your childs school to evaluate your child for special needs, developmental disabilities and learning disabilities. This can help with school by making accomidations that your child might need for education purposes. Welcome aboard. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
