[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 229861, member: 831"] How I found the neuropsychologist for son was from the Pediatric Neurology unit of a children's Hospital nearest to us. Pediatric Neurologists usually know of some and may even recommend one to you. Plus, they know what you talking about and you don't have to explain (hopefully!) what a Neuropsychologist does. Some work for the hospital and some are in private practice. Daughter was tested by one through a children's hospital-not the same one that I used to find one for Son because we had moved. Her pediatric hematologist recommended that I have it done when she was struggling developmentally and I wanted to be sure the chemotherapy regime to treat her leukemia hadn't caused brain damage. Son saw one recommended by a Pediatric Neurologist that I had taken him to see. The Dr. gave me a list and checked off the ones he said were good. I could have taken him to see a hospital neuropsychologist but he would have been put on a year long waiting list. I decided to take him to one that use to work at the hospital, but had gone into private practice. I had to self-pay (three grand), but it did answer some questions, but it also posed questions that don't have clear answers. [/QUOTE]
