[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 519853, member: 1550"] in my humble opinion have him tested by a neuropsychologist. A lot different than most psychologists because they have extra training in the brain. We have done both. I would not trust school testing. They have an agenda. It costs money to help our kids. Occupational Therapist (OT) and ST should be covered for free at school if he needs it. in my opinion don't have an Occupational Therapist (OT) or ST diagnose anything. They aren't actually supposed to or qualified to diagnose, but they can really do great interventions. If you go to a private party, you can have an assessment done as often as your insurance allows. At certain times, when things were really rough, we had two assessments by two different types of professionals, a year apart. Quite a difference in intensity of testing and outcome. We are here for you! Please keep us updated :) [/QUOTE]
