[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 469402, member: 11791"] Doesn't have to be a neuropsychologist to be a good evaluator... And there's lots of things that can only be diagnosed by certain people - but testing by someone else provides the hook you need to get the referal... The forms? If this is a good evaluator, they won't rely on one format... last round, I'm sure I had 8 or 9 forms just for me (plus school ones, plus a couple for husband). The reason was... some forms look at history, some look at current, and one or two look at trends... if you get consistent results across that kind of spectrum, its easier to draw conclusions. If you haven't started a parent report yet - do! It will help you wrap your brain around all the details when you're not under pressure, and you can refer to it when you do the forms. [/QUOTE]
