[QUOTE="buddy, post: 466459, member: 12886"] I just threw up a little. is this for a psychiatric evaluation? Are there any Child Development Centers near you that specialize in Autism/Childhood Mental Health/Special Education? We have a few around here and parents often will get the "medical" diagnosis there (as opposed to he school category, schools can't diagnose anything they can only use an educational label for programming). I did have my son evaluated at one center where I actually worked, as well as having him evaluated at the U of MN neuropsychologist department. Insurance paid for all of the evaluations and also once diagnosed with Autism he attended a half day program at the Child dev. center and half day K after in the public schools. I have done all of his further evaluations at specialty hospitals for children. (OF course he has school evaluations too but they include the private reports that I give them so they dont have to re-do things. His last school report was 63 pages long! ) The type of evaluation that helps figure out their behavior issues, learning style etc...is a neuropsychology evaluation. These are PhD types not MD's. I have heard it put beautifully by others here so I will let them explain in case that is not what you are meaning here... so sorry you are getting the run around. I am sure you are anxious to get him help asap and it seems you are having to go through so many extra hoops. I hear you about a school being a good fit for one kid and not another. It is true.
