[quote=Anonymous]Wondering if it’s worth getting a neuropsych evaluation for my 8 yo DD. We are doing ok this year but have had some tough times, and I’m fearful we’ll have more ahead. If we got an eval at children’s would it be comprehensive enough?

We really struggled with behavior when she was a toddler and preschooler (emotional regulation and impulse control, specifically hitting, it was bad).
Now, in general she is still very emotional (ups and downs) but not aggressive, a model student (and organized) but hates school because of having to sit for so long (lives for recess and and really needs downtime after school), energetic and plays more physically/in a silly manner (doesn’t seem to be as mature as some peers), shy & awkward around new kids or when nervous, has some repetitive hand movements (touching fingers together) when bored or nervous, prefers comfy clothes over fashion, struggles with anxiety (the thought of being late or having to do something different like buy lunch instead of bring), does not take a deep interest in anything (loves to simply play imaginatively with siblings, friends or by herself), low frustration tolerance and dislikes games with rules or directions, loves her friends but really prefers to stick with who she knows and not branch out.

Thoughts?
