[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 364929, member: 1991"] From what you listed, I'm thinking she could be able to do what a neuropsychologist (in the US) would do. We were referred to someone we were told was a neuropsychologist down here in Sydney, attached to a university clinic we're part of. And she was a clinical psychologist who did detailed psychometric testing. This was what we needed. But for ongoing therapy, we see a different psychologist. However, this one sounds likes he generalises a bit more. Certainly worth a try for you. What you need here, is both ongoing testing (every so often, as needed for progress as well as an initial assessment to set a baseline) and also ongoing (much more frequent) counselling support, especially cognitive behaviour therapy as and when he can understand it. She also sounds like she will refer to other specialities according to what she feels he needs. Good to hear from you, Beth. Last I heard, you were moving house and also having hassles with your older son. I've been wondering how you were getting on. Good luck with the testing in Brisbane. Marg [/QUOTE]
