[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 73289, member: 831"] Son was tested by a neuropsychologist. It was done over three days and took about 10 hours total. It was tough for him. He walked out of testing several times. But, I was able to talk him down and bring him back. I also had the SD do Psychoeducational testing.It had to be ordered by a MD. Son's was ordered by a neurologist. HOWEVER, they use many of the same tests the neuropsychologist does. So, I gave them a list of the tests given and the school psychologist gave him different tests so that the results on their tests would be valid. It actually was very helpful. Because both sets of testing came to basically the same conclusions. Though, the private testing was much more thorough. The SD really only cares about testing in relationship with school work. Whereas, the private testing book into account the whole individual. I paid for the private testing, myself. Insurance would have covered part of it, but I would have had to wait at least a year for the testing through "Famous Children's Teaching Hospital". the Neuropsychologist we went to was recommended by the neurologist and worked many years at the forementioned hospital. She doesn't accept insurance.So, husband and I bit the bullet and paid cash. [/QUOTE]
