[QUOTE="klmno, post: 170409, member: 3699"] My suggestion would be to call the psychologist and ask if they do neuropsychological testing (some do but others only counsel). If they do, see if you can get that set up. I would also make an appointment with the psychiatrist (psychiatrist). If the psychologist does not do nueropsych testing, you could ask the psychiatrist to recommend one that does when you call to make that appointment. Chances are, the psychiatrist won't prescribe medications until after the testing results are in, which is actually a good sign, but he/she could be getting familiar with you and your child's situation during a couple of appts in the meantime. These are just my thoughts... PS- I just read SRL's response- I agree with that, too, but in some cases, the psychiatrist might be able to recommend better specialist than the pediatrician (at least, it is that way here).
