[QUOTE="AllStressedOut, post: 72250, member: 3837"] Our neuropsychologist spent about 1 1/2 - 2 hours with each of our difficult children. Bunches of different tests like IQ, ink blots etc. I've heard many on the board say they have had longer testing with their neuropsychologist. As for now, if it were me, I would get him on a strict schedule. Structure helps kids so much. It also keeps their hands from being idle and their brains coming up with their own things to entertain themselves. At this age, 20-30 minute intervals would probably keep his attention best. If you need to write down the schedule with times, do it, it helps to keep track! I'd give him 30 minute time periods with reading, tv, electronics, board games, outside time, whatever he enjoys, but keep him on it. Schedule his breakfast & lunch time as well. Snacks to keep his blood sugar even too. Limit sweets or chemically treated foods. Try nuts for a snack, the protein helps. Go natural for a bit. It really made a huge difference in my youngest difficult child. We noticed a change within a week, just by changing his diet. I made it through this long summer because of the schedule I created at home. I made a new one once school started to schedule time when kids were home. It made a huge difference. I hope this helps you think of something that will work with yours! [/QUOTE]
