[quote=Anonymous]You need to read up on ADHD a bit and get the terminology right. There is no such thing as “ADD.” It is all called ADHD (primarily inattentive, primarily hyperactive, or combined). Why would you have your pediatrician do this? It is very complex and sometimes the symptoms you are seeing aren’t ADHD and are the result of dyslexia, dysgraphia, anxiety disorder, auditory issues, etc. If cost is a barrier to testing, you can get an inexpensive neuropsych exam at George Mason University through their PHD students. Call them ASAP to set up an appointment as the wait can be long. The GMU cost of testing is on a sliding scale if you are below a certain income level and only $1675 if you are above the income floor. A lot cheaper than a private evaluation that usually runs $4,000+[/quote]
