[QUOTE="DDD, post: 398353, member: 35"] A complete neuro/psychiatric evaluation might help you attain the protection that comes with an IEP etc. The testing that was done at seven would not bring the same detailed results that a n/p would as a teen. It will be "up to date", give you a real comprehensive evaluation and perhaps steer you in a new supplemental direction. I strongly recommend it for your benefit. Also a specialized Teen/Adolescent Psychiatrist can be seen with test results in hand which will make the investment more valuable. Also, it was my experience that ADHD medications needed to be reevaluated for effectiveness or at least dosage. In our family we used a supplemental "step down" dose of ADHD medication to avoid the afternoon and evening problems. Perhaps your medical professionals might opt for that method too. Believe me I do understand your concerns and care greatly that you get the best help pronto. If what you are doing, no matter how caring, isn't working...it's time to become a Warrior Mom and seek new solutions. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
