[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 588399, member: 14557"] Around here neuropsychologist also does only a small part of full evaluation. My difficult child has been evaluated twice. First time at 5 and second time when he was 12 or turning 13. Both there done in children hospital in neurological department. First one was over two weeks, three or four days a week from 8 a.m. to 3 or 4 p.m.and one night (for sleep study and few other tests.) Second one was shorter, because he was older and able to stand more testing at once, but still several days and one night. He was evaluated and tested at least by neurologist, psychiatrist, neurological and psychiatric nurses, speech-language pathologist, occupational therapist, Special Education. teacher, physiotherapist, psychologist and neuropsychologist, could had been few others too, it was some time ago already. [SIZE=1](Got really thick pile of paper that told that difficult child was slightly different but not enough for this or that diagnosis out of [SIZE=1]a[SIZE=1]ll that[/SIZE][/SIZE])[/SIZE] Take the most comprehensive evaluation you have available for J. Other than neuropsychologist I would get at least Occupational Therapist (OT)'s evaluation. That may not give you any diagnosis, but it may give you some really good tips how to help him. [/QUOTE]
