[QUOTE="ksm, post: 685364, member: 12511"] The neuropsychologist tevaluation was 4 years ago. Even after talking to her about the prenatal drugs and alcohol, we didn't get an accurate diagnosis. I will find my copy later, but if I remember it was mainly anxiety and depression...and "a lot of kids mature later in life..." The FASD clinic was about 6 months ago, and the only place in the state. The way I understood, they just diagnosis. Each Friday, the panel of 6 or 7 professionals would see 1 or 2 patients. I guess if you lived there, maybe you might have a therapist or psychologist that you could make an appointment with. But the distance is too great for us. The FASD clinic is part of the county health department. I was told that we would be seen, with or without insurance. They took copies of our insurance, but I never got a bill. The psychiatrist said she was trained in Washington state at a FASD clinic place...I have heard the name, but can't think of it now. One of the premiere places... I don't think our insurance would pay for another neuropsychologist exam... It took two years to get the first one done. I was told without insurance it would be about $2000. Now that she is an adult (18) there might be more options for finding a neuropsychologist. Before, there were only four in our state who would see a child! KSM [/QUOTE]
