[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 466218, member: 7083"] I read your original post, but I haven't read the responses. I'm tired and this is a long thread...sorry. Given your son's complex history at birth and since, I think I would go for a neuropsychiatry evaluation as opposed to neuropsychology. You can google the term and it will explain it more. I've never recommended that before, but I think it makes sense in this case. They may be hard to come by so you'll probably want to look into a teaching hospital for one. If you're in the SE, Emory University might be a good bet. I also wouldn't put much stock in a diagnosis made by the school. They just don't have the expertise. [/QUOTE]
