[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 67488"] We got more answers from several hours of testing from a neuropsychologist than years of psychologists, social workers, therapists, etc. Neuropsychs do testing - anywhere from 6 - 12 hours depending on what they find. Others here have a lot more information than I on the specific tests they do...I don't remember any specific names of the tests given other than an IQ test. From the neuropsychologist we learned that my difficult child has strong NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) (non-verbal learning disorder) characteristics, but not quite enough to carry the label, Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) (sensory integration dysfunction), and executive function disorders. The NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) and executive function can really only be determined via neuropsychologist testing, or so I was told. Also, because the testing is much more in depth than what you get at a 45 min psychiatrist appointment, they can determine between such things such adhd, bipolar, autism spectrum. It's just more thorough. The neuropsychologist then gave recommendations on therapeutic interventions, school interventions and recommended further testing to rule out (rule out) Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) (Central Auditory Processing Disorder). It's not cheap and you should check with your insurance re: coverage, but it's well worth the money. It's actually money saved from going down the wrong road in the long run. [/QUOTE]
