[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 242068, member: 1550"] NeuroPsychs do their own intensive testing so you don't have to tell them much. They will probably have you fill out a lot of forms, but, unlike other diagnosticians, they actually put the child through a bunch of task-oriented tests to try to see his function on every level (not just intelligence, but also behavior). in my opinion it's far different and better than just talking to a psychiatric who often (in our experience) pulls out the prescription pad after 50 minutes and doesn't really try to test to see where the child is deficient or strong or what is wrong. My son's neuropsychologist didn't want any notes from anywhere because he wanted a fresh perspective with no tainting. He tested my son for ten hours in two hour increments. It's much more involved than just going to a psychiatric and talking to him. If you want, call the office and ask what this particular doctor would like you to bring (if anything). Good luck! You are on the right track. [/QUOTE]
