[quote=Anonymous]We did the full neuropsychology-- there is a high potential for misdiagnosis or even a dual diagnosis. A neuropsychology test is comprehensive and makes the comparison between your child and other children on the same tests-- a bell curve, so that you can truly gauge if your child's behavior and struggles are out of the ordinary and the causes. Also, a neuropsychology exam gives a baseline so you can re-evaluate over time to see if things have gotten better/worse as your DC develops. It's just really worth it imo- an expense up front but may save a lot of time, money and worry in the long run. Case in point, we were able to target interventions because we learned that our DS's ADHD is mild and many of his issues stem from a language impairment. It made him a good candidate for therapy and thus far, he hasn't required medication to help with ADHD symptoms (although we re-visit that decision each year). [/quote]
