[quote=Anonymous]I have 2 kids. For my older child, I get a full day neuropsychological evaluation appointment with children hospital in less than 1 week. Yes, they call me immediately when there is any open slot in a few days I call for scheduling appointment. For my younger child, it is more than 1 year waiting list, and no one has called me yet from children hospital to schedule neuropsychological evaluation. That is day and night treatment. Both children are not medicated, and they follow really closely with the older child because his diagnosis are too complex. Both children are high functioning, have friends, do sports, and mainstream at school with IEP unmedicated. The younger child may have all of the older child's complex diagnosis, but we never go deep into doing all genetic testing, MRI, EEG and etc. to get her diagnosed. She is the second child, so I don't want to go through the same journey for all different evaluations and want to cut corner. The younger child needs a learning disability evaluation, can someone point to me where she can get one, what kind of test or specialist she should see to get learning disability evaluated? She is age 7. I don't even know what test people use to evaluate learning disability, low IQ or dyslexia. She struggles in math and reading/writing, maybe 30-40 percent compared to peers. [/quote]
