[QUOTE="robinm1922, post: 257834, member: 6423"] Hi, My difficult child just had testing done three weeks ago (give or take a few days) she had only one session that lasted 4.5 hours. She is older and I think they drop a few of the tests the older they are. She will be 16 in a few months :surprised1: I go, hopefully, Friday for her results although he was able to give me some feedback right after the test was done. He needed to review all the test data to see how it reads as a whole. He did tell me he was able to rule out bipolar and did detect depression and anxiety (which she is being treated for) along with a verbal language processing disability, I won't know more about that until I go meet with him. He didn't have the results from the ADHD portion of the test done yet. All this was done while she is on her medications. I think it is too hard on their bodies to start and stop the medications like that. difficult child's psychiatrist did not want to change her medication prior to the testing since she was stable on her current medications. She is in need of a medication change which is why this meeting Friday is so important. New medications and hopefully a school plan. She has basically failed this school year at least it is looking that way. When I asked about the medications I was told the tests are able to go beyond the medications and pick out the issues. He told me to look at it this way, if you have a cold and take medication to make you feel better the cold is still there! I hope you get the results soon, I am at the tail end of the "hurry up and wait" game, not a fun game at all! Best of luck, Robin [/QUOTE]
