[QUOTE="busywend, post: 21490, member: 391"] Welcome! I am happy for you to be graduating - that will give you some more time to relax. I should be finished in Decmeber - phew/whew! I would for sure contact your pediatrician again and tell him/her that you are hearing perhaps you should contact a neuropsychologist before a psychiatrist. See what he says. I think the reason alot of us say a neuropsychologist is because there are many more tests that seem to be performed when going to a neuropsychologist than with a psychiatrist. Alot of times psychiatrists seem to jump to conclusions - and I will not speak for others on the board, but I was not comfortable with psychiatrist diagnosis'ing within an hour of meeting my difficult child. It happens almost every time. Yes, a private school is obligated to follow an IEP if it is already in place. The local private school I looked into here was willing to evaluate and everything, but said it would be better if difficult child entered the school with an IEP in place. Not sure exactly why. You could call the school district and see what you should do for evaluations at the private school. [/QUOTE]
