[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 288200, member: 7083"] A few things: 1. I wouldn't go all out for the neuropsychologist evaluation unless you think it's warranted. I know a lot of people here feel like every child would benefit. I don't think it's always necessary. My daughter had a neuropsychologist evaluation, but she didn't fit neatly into some little box and it wasn't until that evaluation that we figured things out. From what I've heard and read from other parents here, the absence seizures can cause a lot of the symptoms you described. 2. As far as medications, I would go with the doctor's suggestions. This is his specialty. I would be informed, but look to him for direction. I wouldn't automatically dismiss them. (And I'm not one to jump to put my kids on medications...but your talking about neurological issues here. I really would follow the advice of the doctor.) 3. The ball hitting her in the head is not Sensory Perception; that would be more visual-spatial maybe. Sensory issues are thing like noises, light, smells, taste, texture, touch. [/QUOTE]
