[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wondering if it would be useful to get a neuropsych exam on my 12-year-old, just to find out his strengths and weaknesses, even though there are no glaring issues? I know it's expensive, but would rather discover any potential challenges sooner rather than later. Have folks found these exams very helpful in unexpected ways? [/quote] Honestly, it's unlikely to be helpful if you haven't already noticed any performance differences or problems. Finding your "strengths and weaknesses" is a gentle way of saying "things you are good at and things you suck at that are making your life a problem". Since the tests are age normed. If the "potential challenge" has not shown its head in day to day living yet, it's unlikely the test will tap skills that measure it. [/quote]
