[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 283282, member: 1550"] I would call and ask if he is going to do a lot of testing. Without testing the kids, they can't really know his strengths or weaknesses. If at all possible--in any way--I'd go to a neuropsychologist though. Psychiatrists don't test much or at all and often just pull of the prescription pad. I've had a ton of psychiatrists in my life since I have a mood disorder and some aren't all that hot. For diagnostic purposes, I prefer NeuroPsychs for both adults and kids (my son is on the autism spectrum and a psychiatrist insisted he had bipolar--three years of heavy medications :sick:). He's been off medications four years--he never needed them. A neuropsychologist is a psychologist with extra training in the brain so he can test for both neurological disorders and psychiatric ones and in my opinion he usually does a better job than any other professionals. We found a great one that took Medicaid! Anything is possible. Perhaps a neuropsychologist around you will take payments. in my opinion it's worth it. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
