[quote=Anonymous]I don't know why you would wait for an assessment. A lot of what you describe sounds like ADHD. Even an insurance-reimbursed assessment at a hospital would be useful behavior-wise. Plus this is eating at you, which I totally understand. I did a neuropsych to rule out ID for my kid. No, he doesn't have it but he does have scores all over the place and we still have no idea what kind of prognosis we are looking at. Here's the thing about the assessments--one eval is not going to be the final word. For a kid with ADHD even getting through the testing is hard and your first go around, if you aren't medicated, is likely to result in lower scores than a second assessment when the kid is medicated. And as school goes on the kinds of things you need to test for will change. A six month delay is nothing. It sounds like you're doing okay in terms of OT and PT. What about speech? Have you looked into playgroups with the larger psychology practices? [/quote]
