[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 597875, member: 1550"] IC, I think he just was tested for school stuff. A neuropsychologist tests for 6-10 hours and covers all areas of function, not just IQ and LDs. I think a neuropsychologist evaluation is superior to other forms of testing. Short one hour evaluations are not intensive enough nor are evaluations that only cover IQ or Learning Disability (LD). If it were my child, I'd have the neuropsychologist. It is very different from the types of evaluations regular psychologists give. Also, if you want to make an appointment. and just think about it, you'll have plenty of time. Neuropsychs are very popular and it's hard to get in to see one! I had to wait for six months. My son had terrible sensory issues (covered his ears all the time and would throw up on certain textured foods and wouldn't wear a tag on the back of his shirt..the usual stuff), but he was actually and still is well coordinated. Interesting that Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) kids usually aren't. If it were me, I'd rather get the help in kindergarten than wait until the learning kicks up a big notch in first grade. IQ alone does not predict ability to perform in school. Just take whatever you like from us and leave the rest. We are here to try to help, not to tell you what to do. [/QUOTE]
