[quote=Anonymous]I would keep both. The hospitals have different approaches to the same thing. At Children’s the dev ped will likely send your child for testing: ADOS/ADI-R if autism is suspected and/or neuropsych eval if ADHD, learning disabilities, etc are suspected. The main reason people wait until the child is 6 or older is because of the IQ testing. They use WIPPSI for kids 6 and under and WISC for 6 and up. Most people feel that the WISC is a better test due to maturity. Keep both appointments. We have a kid with ASD/ADHD who had a dev pediatrician, ADOS and psycho educational testing at 4 and a neuropsych eval at 7. The more information you have, the better generally. Just be sure you inform the doctors what, when and where your child was tested because some tests cannot be repeated in the same year because that invalidates the results.[/quote]
