[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 519371, member: 11791"] We found that an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation wasn't extreme on the expense side... we had to pay for our own, and wish now that we had done it sooner. Definitely more affordable than paying for a neuropsychologist! How long ago was the evaluation done? They don't like to do comp evaluations more than about every 3 years. I'd say yours was somewhat comprehensive... 4 hours is a tad lower than some, but there was definitely testing done, not just an "educated opinion". Keep in mind that many or most kids with ADHD, have other stuff going on too. Half of them will have Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) (developmental coordination disorder - neuromotor developmental delays related to motor skills). Many will have learnign disabilities, and 70% of the ones with learning disabilities will have Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) (auditory processing disorder). That doesn't even count sensory issues... Our experience? anxiety was at least 90% caused by Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). (the rest was due to the social impact of motor skills in class and on the playground) [/QUOTE]
