[QUOTE="wintak, post: 458253, member: 11938"] Hi all Been awhile since I was here. difficult child has been on a waiting list for a neuropsychologist exam and is FINALLY going to have one BUT...I just don't know that I have a good feeling about this. Going through the childrens hospital pysch area. It is a teaching hospital and I was aware there would be an intern. I did talk to her about this and what she told me that she would never test more than 2-3 hours at a time so his evaluation has been strung out over 3 weeks (due to her schedule). OBVIOUSLY he can hold it together in front of a stranger for 2-3 hours at a time... Anyway, I'm trying frantically to find out what a neuropsychologist exam IS. I am finding it's a bunch of different tests, which the administrator can pick (I've already told her no intellectual tests...already had that done a year ago...no learning issues) but it seems like, from what I'm reading, USUALLY it's done in one day. From those who have had this, is that true? Or is it also ok to drag this out over 3 weeks, 2-3 hours at a time? He is 8 1/2 years old. We got through the summer but this year in school he's got a teacher who is not going to waiver on consequences (and I'm behind that all the way) so he might have a rude awakening. Oh and he threatened to kill his sister last night in a restaurant over a balloon...and no one who heard him (including his sister) thinks he was just kidding. Ugh [/QUOTE]
