[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 517449, member: 1550"] Buddy, you are right. I would not trust an Occupational Therapist (OT) or a SP to diagnose any child. They are not qualified. I would take their suggestion then go to a neuropsychologist to see if they are right, but, no, out of hand I do not think OTs and STs should try to diagnose. It's like teachers diagnosing. They do not have the qualifications to diagnose, and I am not even sure they can legally do so, at least in our state. Our Occupational Therapist (OT) and ST never diagnosed our son. They had helpful suggestions for therapy and helped immensely, but they did not do the diagnosing. I never expected them to. [/QUOTE]
