[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 236347, member: 2423"] Welcome! I'm glad you found us. I just want to clarify that a neuropsychologist is a clinical psychologist (not an MD)with extra training in how the brain functions. Neuropsychologists do extensive testing to determine the strengths and challenges of an individual child, whether there are learning disabilities, attention issues, motor difficulties, etc. Putting all the pieces together enables the neuropsychologist to hone in on a diagnosis and then make recommendations for appropriate interventions (which can include medications, therapy, school accommodations/services, etc). Neuropsychologists can be found at children's and university teaching hospitals. Sometimes they're covered by insurance, sometimes not, but in my personal experience, we've found the info gathered in this sort of evaluation invaluable. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
