[QUOTE="OpenWindow, post: 84918, member: 45"] My difficult child has seen a neuropsychologist in St. Louis. He was part of an autism clinic. The evaluation was thorough but didn't give us any real answers, only more questions. We're looking for a new neuropsychologist now that we've moved to a different state and he's a little older. We've been to psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, and no one has been able to give a real concrete diagnosis. They all have told me they can't pinpoint anything. I'm just telling you this because your son is young, and you may run into the same thing. I found a psychiatrist who had experience working with schools, so he saw the need to put something in writing so difficult child could be better served at school. You can request an IEP evaluation at the same time you are getting evaluations on your own, before you have a diagnosis. We did when difficult child was in kindergarten. If you think the school is on the same page as you, getting the ball rolling sooner rather than later would be better. Have you talked to the teacher about whether she thinks he would benefit from an IEP? She will have a lot of input during the evaluation. Linda [/QUOTE]
