[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We worked with Dr. Kraper at CAAT last summer. She was good, patient and kind to our DD (6 at the time). It did take a couple months to get our full neuropsych assessment but she provided an executive summary and we moved on her initial suggestions. She also mentioned willingness to be part of our IEP committees and allowed us to have a follow up meeting about a year out to discuss our progress and provide confirmation/guidance. [/quote]

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback! Did you feel like her assessment was thorough and accurate? Did she really seem to "get" your child? Were the suggested interventions helpful? We are less on the learning disability path with our DS who is 7 (doing fine in school so far, testing on grade level, and probably wouldn't qualify for an IEP right now even if we tried). Our issues are more behavioral.

We are seeking the evaluation/diagnosis somewhat preemptively - to better understand him, and to know what we can do at home or in private therapy settings to offer more support. Although there are probably some 504 school accommodations that could be helpful right now. DS is somewhat complex because he doesn't neatly fit into any boxes and works really hard to effectively mask at school. ADHD, anxiety, Autism (or all of the above) have been suggested, but none of them seem like the "perfect" fit. We want to work with a psych who will keep an open mind and take a wholistic approach.
