[QUOTE="Nancy423, post: 228005, member: 6118"] We had 2 scans done many years ago. Our doctor was trained to read them as well. It is actually very interesting to look at. Our doctor said my difficult child has a kind of "alzheimer's" in a way because of how the brain activity looked. They could also determine where the activity in the brain comes from. In difficult child's case, it's not active where it should be and vice versa (too active in other spots) possibly meaning that parts of her brain aren't developed/damaged and the other parts are taking over. However, no other psychiatrist could understand the results so it wasn't a very effective tool to bring elsewhere. Didn't have it to show to the neuro tho - maybe they'd be able to see something? My insurance did not cover it and we paid out of pocket (in desperation) [/QUOTE]
