[quote=Anonymous]My child had neuropsych testing at school for ADHD, and the school denied services based on the result. Around the same time, DC was diagnosed with anxiety by a psychologist and began therapy. (Like many kids with ADHD, DC had some behavioral issues which we think is why the school denied services and why we sought assistance from a non-educational psychologist.) We continued asking for interventions, and were repeatedly denied, but conducted no further neuropsych testing. We eventually made an appointment with a psychiatrist who diagnosed DC with severe depression caused by the school's failure to address his ADHD. Psych prescribed medication. I'm not sure whether or how much the psychiatrist relied on the school's neuropsych testing; the testing was a couple of years old at the time of our first psychiatric appointment. I would make the psychiatric appointment now. Good luck! [/quote]
