[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 638470, member: 1550"] Confused...psychiatry is a very iffy field. That's what I like neuropsychs. To the best of their ability, they spend hours testing and observing and they do give you and the child's teachers many forms to fill out, not just the one Connor's Test (thanks for reminding me, Castle Queen, about all the forms). Confused, if you contact a university hospital, they take Medicaid and are probably the best, most forward thinking places to go for diagnosis. If you don't have Medicaid, then I don't know. I hope you do. Medicaid covered our entire testing. Beware of a short waiting list. I know...it's screwy :) But most neuropyshs that are worth their weight are booking far out because this is the best way we have to diagnose in the U.S. Your kids already saw a neurologist. It is not the same thing./ A neuropsychologist is a psychologist with special additional training in the brain. They know how to test, even test on a computer test for ADHD. My daughter Jumper failed that one big time so we knew we were dealing with at least ADD or ADHD. I passed it so I knew my spaciness was not due to ADD or ADHD (yes, I had one too). For every test we had, there was an intensive three to four page explanation of t he results plus that coveted diagnosis, Axis I, 2 and 3, which almost guarantees school services and community help. Recommendations are made. This is how Sonic easily slid into getting adult help and SSI, job help, and a caseworker who is very helpful too. The evaluation can be gold for future years if it turns out th at your dear children may need a little extra help transitioning to adulthood. A pediatric behaviorist/ADHD specialist is not going to pull as much weight. And ADHD alone does not usually offer much help, at least it is normally (not always) considered a mild problem in the U.S. I say in the U.S. because you live HERE and have to deal with OUR system with all it's flaws as well as t he good parts. Hugs a nd I hope you can find a way to get neuropsychs covered!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
