[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] A developmental pediatrician can give you medical diagnoses (ADHD, autism, etc) and refer you to other specialists. A neuropsychologist can do those as well, but can also test for dyslexia, dysgraphia etc. [/quote] The dev ped gave us the general direction (probable ADHD diagnosis), and the neuropsych provided the in-depth eval and detail (and diagnosis confirmation). The dev ped eval was based primarily on written surveys from us (parents) and teachers and meeting with parents and child. Neuropsych was more surveys (again parents, but with different teachers because it was a year later), meeting with parents and child, and extensive evaluation and testing. [/quote]
