[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP’s are correct that it is recommended to repeat neuropsychological evals. in children every thee years. Their brain development changes so much that symptoms and compensation strategies will usually change. In some cases doctors propose additional or different diagnoses. Intelligent children with learning differences can develop various coping strategies to get through school without formal accommodation. This doesn’t mean that work is always easy or engaging. In fact boredom is a fairly common experience for ADHD individuals. Schools are only required to eliminate barriers to education. So, in the case of physical disability, someone using crutches would get an elevator pass and possibly additional time to transit between classrooms. However, the school can’t do anything about the fact that walking with crutches may feel more laborious or take longer than walking without them. In a similar fashion, schools will provide supports for learning differences, but students usually experience some level of challenge. Testing might provide your child with greater self knowledge and some strategies you can employ and your own. It may also be useful if you seek extended time on standardized tests.[/quote] Not everyone has an extra 3 grand lying around for constant neuropsychs [/quote]
