[quote=Anonymous]PP, I'm no expert so others may have better information. My understanding is that ADHD is considered a medical issue. You don't NEED a neuropsychological evaluation for it, though -- it can be diagnosed just through parent and teacher questionares. However the neuropsych evaluation is warrented to rule out/diagnose other comorbid conditions -- depression, anxiety, ODD, OCD, etc. The neuropsych evaluation does not include academic testing, but it does test things like working memory, full scale IQ (WISC-IV I believe), and some executive function aspects (certainly not all) etc that would certainly impact school success. But the neuropsych evaluation would not be where you see for example what grade level the child is reading at, where he is in math, etc.[/quote]
