[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ADHD is often diagnosed with dyslexia. One component of the ADHD is "executive dysfunction", which may not appear as inability to concentrate but tather as difficulty processing incoming information. I would not skip assessment for ADHD even if my main concern was dyslexia. Try to see a neuropsych who will do objective computer-based testing and other standardized measures of attention and executive function as well as ADHD and BRIEF checklists that a regular psychologist would do. BTW, it is MORE likely that your insurance will cover testing if ADHD testing is done.[/quote] Thanks - yes, I was getting the impression that ADHD would be easier to get reimbursed. But how to I ask that question of my insurance company ... I was only given one code for all psychological testing?[/quote]
