[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 434267, member: 11001"] Don't agree about the TOVA being specific to ADHD-it picks up inattention which is part of a host of diagnosis. But any evaluation across environments and people is a good idea esp. for ADHD-the more perspectives the better-this helps with the subjectiveness of the test. Agree about conduct disorder- your child is too young. A neuropsychologist is a good idea but it is difficult to get in and even good child psychs are hard to get into. Here in the state with the most kids per family, the waiting list is 3 months. and t o get a neuropsch. evaluation you have to get a referral from child psychiatric to get in 3 months later. Many insurance companies give you fits about paying for these expensive exams so, be prepared to pay. It is worth it. I agree that you need to at the very least see a child psychiatric. before you go whole hog into anything. An experienced psychiatrist, who knows kids can diagnose and help support your family in the meantime. You can't often wait unsupported. We did this with both kids and it helped us maintain until we got into the child psychiatric. and with my son the neuropsychologist. [/QUOTE]
