[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 439594, member: 8831"] i personally hate those questionaires--i just got finished filling out (probably) the same 3 you did, and i'm telling you, its very, very difficult to REALLY portray an accurate picture--the whole thing is subjective and based on OUR opinion. like someone eloquently pointed out here, we know our kids have issues, we also compensate for them---so by definition, we cannot be objective. (and some of the time? most of the time? all of the time? never?---i NEVER pick my nose, but, oh, well, maybe sometimes!...some things are impossible to quantify with our kids). that leaves the formal testing. perhaps the neuropsychologist didnt pick the right battery of tests to identify her issues....maybe he did just a basic evaluation. or maybe is something completely different that he WOULDNT test for....occupational issues, pragmatic issues, what have you. you keep mentioning that she is very social so she cant have adhd, but in girls, thats often a hallmark of adhd-in. i know you tried medications, but maybe she needs to be shown some different compensation skills. or maybe, like said above, she stinks at school. but regardless, she's still jumper. (and if she's been tested before, it would be important to compare like tests/scores to see if there is a change--that to me would be much more important than a single set of scores of anything)... i was in the less than impressed with neuropsychologist testing crowd too....but, fingers crossed for us, we will be repeating it this summer [/QUOTE]
