[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all.  This is OP.  DD is 7 1/2 and seems to have either executive function or ADHD (inattentive).  Plus the reading teacher has suggested "retention and processing" issues.  (I am not sure exactly what that means).  So I think we will go ahead with the neuro-psych. My main goal is to see if there is an identifiable problem so we can figure out how to best help her.  [/quote]

Your daughter sounds very similar to my son and we did the neuropsych in December 2013 when he was 7 3/4 and I'm so glad we did.  We learned a lot and had explanations for some of the "quirky" things he does.  ADHD wasn't even on my radar for him because he's not at all disruptive, but he does have ADHD Inattentive Type and it was discovered via computer testing because he visually appears to be paying attention, but he zones out.  He also has major executive function (primarily working memory) issues, which we're working on - if he can get the information into his long term memory, he's golden.  :)

The IQ testing portion was helpful to me because I wasn't sure how much to expect from him (if that makes sense).  I didn't want to expect more than he would ever be able to do, nor do I want him to slack off if he's capable of more.  With the results, I now know what to expect and maybe "push" a little, if necessary.

I know they're expensive, but I found it to be very helpful and worth the expense.  Good Luck![/quote]
