[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm trying to figure out whether to pursue a neuropsych evaluation for my high school aged daughter.

I'm wondering if there's some inattentive ADHD going on. She's a smart girl who gets mostly As at the end of the marking period. But she finds school very stressful. It takes her a long time to get her homework done (and there really doesnt seem to be that much of it). She does well in most of her classes but struggles with the teacher that mostly lectures to the class where she has to take notes (there doesn't seem to be a lot of that going on in her other classes).
We do have tears sometimes over work that seems insurmountable but really aren't. And even though she's pretty smart, it takes her longer to pick up concepts.

She's been diagnosed with anxiety and has trouble making friends (although she has a small-but not very healthy friend group). She's in therapy for these issues, but I also wonder if there's something else going on?

Does someone else in the family have ADHD?  If not, I'd try to see if other methods might work, because high school is a time when students find school to be stressful and older, inefficient methods of studying to not work with the increased workload.  [/quote]
