[quote=Anonymous]My child underwent private psychoeducational testing and afterwards, I was urged by numerous people to get a fuller neuropsych exam for a better understanding of the challenges DC's facing.  I made an appt. with KKI; the gist is that the testing psychologist called me to say that basically her testing would be duplicative of the PE testing and that because we live a fair distance from KKI, she didn't think it'd be worth driving to Baltimore.  In no way did she discourage us if we wanted to pursue testing with her, but said she wouldn't necessarily do much different (after I read to her the list of tests from the PE testing) other than perhaps look at potential anxiety more. I cancelled the appt. after a discussion with her and she said that perhaps a developmental pediatrician would be a better gateway.

I feel confused as to how NP testing is different than PE testing. I guess what's done is done, and I hope I did the correct thing by cancelling. I guess it's possible DC's PE testing was more comprehensive than generally done?[/quote]
