[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 486453, member: 1550"] This isn't a neuropsychologist evaluation. My son had two evaluations like this one. I preferred the neuropsychologist and felt his testing was more intensive, however this doesn't sound bad. How long is the testing going to be? What I like about neuropsychs is how intensive they evaluate and how they go into every facet of behavior. Also, the neuropsychologist is with your kiddo for a long time and gets to see how he reacts and behaves in many situations. My son had ten full hours of testing (in two hour increments) and we had to f ill out a billion forms too...lol...as did the schools. I didn't feel any stone was left unturned. The neuropsychologist hit the nail on the head. When we had our evaluation like the one you are going to have, our son saw each different evaluator for 1/2 hour at a time, which I felt was not enough time to scope out my kiddo. They did not nail the diagnosis down, although they did say he had "autistic traits." It is really a matter of choice. I would go with this for a start and see if you feel the team did a good job. See if your Mom Gut, which I love, thinks that t he team has nailed your kiddo correctly. If not, you can always push for a neuropsychologist evaluation, which we had to do (but not everyone does).
