[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 290916, member: 1550"] Big "YES" to the neuropsychologist. More is going on with her than has been found out and that the school will find out. But a neuropsychologist won't just look at someone else's work and give you an opinion. He will want to evaluate your child, and in my opinion it will be well worth it. Her tantrumming will be a clue to what could be wrong with her. A good neuropsychologist tests from 6-10 hours and does not form conclusions in advance of the testing. I was impressed with the sorts of tests our neuropsychologist gave my son. No other professional had been that thorough and he didn't stop until he had tested for every area of functionality. In the end, he was t he one who diagonsed my son correctly and that's when all the wonderful progress began. Before that, he was just put on a ton of medications with a bunch of alphabet soup diagnoses w hich meant, "Don't really know!" If you go to a neuropsychologist, you will have a better idea of what type of therapist can help your child. I've been to at least twenty myself (I have a serious mood disorder) and, trust me, some of them are worthless, some make you feel worse, some are good--in my opinion the ones who focus on cognitive therapy. You can make a better decision when you have a better idea of what is really going on with her. Misdiagnoses is common and can be horrible for the child and her family. Good luck :happy: And welcome!
