[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can also ask your pediatrician if he/she would diagnose ADHD or refer you to someone who could. If you suspect ADHD and no other issues, you don't need a full neuropsychological evaluation, which is the testing that costs $3,000-$5,000 if you go somewhere that doesn't take insurance. ADHD can be diagnosed just through parent and teacher questionnaires, and it sounds like you do not need a full evaluation, just one looking at ADHD.[/quote] The questionnaires are just that, OP. They aren't going to tell you anything you don't know. It will get you a diagnosis and prescription if that's what you want. But if you want to actually have a sense of your child's areas of weakness and strength you do need to do an actual evaluation. others have listed the multiple options so I won't repeat them but I would encourage you to do an actual evaluation.[/quote]
