[quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for your help! [quote=Anonymous]Like others have said you really don’t need a neuropsych to diagnose adhd. A pediatrician, therapist or psychiatrist can do it. If there are other things you want to explore like you think you might e missing something else going on then the full eval can be helpful. It’s usually nice but also not always necessary. Also recommend looking and posting in the special needs board if you need more ideas, it’s usually a very helpful place. [/quote] Eh, that's debatable. Teachers, therapists, pediatricians MAY have ability to say a kid might have ADHD, but a neuropsych eval is the way to go in order to do it by the book. IMO. [quote=Anonymous]You can take her to a psychiatrist and get meds. Eval can be done later or never, depending on how she reacts to meds.[/quote] This is what I'm leaning towards. I've read this is the goto appraoch especially given psyschs are the ones who can understand brand, dosing, etc. [/quote]
