[quote=Anonymous]As a parent, I would do the neuropsych, especially given the early language issues and the wide disparity between verbal and non-verbal ability. IME with our DS, the neuropsych really teased apart areas where he had widely disparate abilities - 99%ile math reasoning but 30%ile math fluency. He was extremely bright but underlying brain/neuropsych problems like slow processing and word finding difficulty and dysgraphia made doing computations with nevessary speed and accuracy ver difficult. DS noticed how he could not do things like other kids and he became angry, depressed and anxious. Two years of special instructions, tutors, and self-education about how his brain works has returned our happy optimistic boy to us. Neuropsych was the key to understanding his strengths and weaknesses. Without it, they just masked each other and he looked like an average kid with mood problems. [/quote]
