[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the approx cost of a neuropsych at a place like Stixrud?

DS (adhd, exec dysfunction, anxiety) had a neuropsych about 10 years ago and his schools have not required an update to renew his 504 plan. He is a senior in Hs and I have been tokd colleges require a post age 16 neuropsych to grant accomodations.

Thanks. [/quote]
I have a senior and have been panicking about paying for a new neuropsych eval (original one was done in middle school.) Talk to the disability office where your child is attending. I talked to them this weekend and was told with a current 504 for general accommodations (extra time/note taking assistance) they don't need an updated neuropsych. I was told to submit the current 504, old neuropsych, and any other testing (ie. OT) and it should be fine.

I nearly hugged the lady. [/quote]

This is really good advice to talk to disability offices at universities to which you are applying/have been accepted. I have 2 kids, one with an IEP and 1 with a 504. Both with different medical and learning abilities/disabilities.  When I looked at school disability offices, requirements varied widely.

At one DC's top 5 Ivy university - ADHD accommodation explicitly required a neuropsych or psychoed assessment, while depression required a form from the doctor. (Also the Ivy asked for information regarding what specific meds the student is taking, which I think is illegal, and I the requirement of recent documentation is challengeable depending on facts, but that's another thread.)

Other schools (and tests like SAT, ACT, GRE, etc.) use a history of documented disability, so a 504 form might suffice. And this was definitely would work at some of the large public state schools I researched. [/quote]
