[quote=Anonymous]I just got the results from the neuropsych exam. I did this primarily so that my 8 year old DD would have any accommodations she needed in place before third grade testing. She has a complicated medical history that has resulted in OT, PT and speech delays, but no clear diagnosis on any front. All problems we've had have been attributed to a surgery she had when she was younger. So fast forward. She is 8, does well in school but has borderline difficulties across the board -- with attention, with visual processing, with social skills. She is very smart too -- everyone comments on this -- how amazing her vocabulary is, what a good reader she is, how creative her stories are, etc. So....when I got the neuropsych results back, I was a little disappointed. I wanted an "a ha" moment. "So, THAT"S what she has..." I didn't get that. I got a super detailed report outlining the problems I already knew she had -- borderline attention, bad visual processing, working memory issues, some other...but here's my question.

When I see her around other kids, I wonder why this child can come home and write a 20 page detailed creative story, but with friends has trouble carrying on a conversation. Her eight year old "friends" talk about kids at school and what happened during the day, etc. They are gorwing into little people. My dd's conversation is stilted and she asks a lot of the same questions over and over again and her play is very immature.  I was kind of hoping to get the answers out of the neuropsych to explain this and I didn't.  So, I guess I'm asking. Is no one going to be able to answer this who doesn't observe her all day long at school and at home?[/quote]
