[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 19988, member: 2423"] Suzy and others struggling with dxes following psychological testing: Your kids may have been tested adequately, but may not have received an adequate interpretation or explanation of their testing. This happened recently with my daughter (difficult child 2). She had educational testing (WISC-IV and Woodcock-Johnson) because she is applying to private school. Some of her scores fell significantly from previous testing, plus the psychologist who administered the testing noted that difficult child 2 was inattentive. The psychologist was all ready to jump onto the ADD bandwagon, but my daughter's psychiatrist was not satisfied with this explanation and wanted a skilled neuropsychologist to take a look at all my daughter's testing over the years as well as adminster an IVA (computerized test of attention) and projective testing (psychological testing of how a child view his/her world; particularly helpful with children who have mood issues). We don't have the answers yet -- husband and I meet with difficult child 2's psychiatrist and the neuropsychologist in a week -- but we know it ould be ADD, anxiety, depression, cognitive dulling from mediation or something else entirely. The testing was adequate, but the explanation for the results can vary on how far the professionals around you are willing to delve to look for answers. It's really hard to sort some of this stuff out, so I encourage you to keep looking if you're not satisfied. [/QUOTE]
