[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't you want to provide it? Am important part of subsequent neuropsychs for us is the comparison -- where has there been growth, where hasn't there, what has changed.[/quote]

But I get what the OP is saying - it's almost like you are swayed to think one way instead of a clean slate. I would provide it after the eval but before the written update [/quote]

That only makes sense if you doubt the current diagnosis. Otherwise, you are wasting time and aren't getting as valuable results. [/quote]

If you think “neuropsychs” are so subjective and neuropsychologists so unreliable that they will be “swayed” by former test results … I kind of wonder why you are doing this testing in the first place. [/quote]

DP. I think OP’s concerns are valid. In a perfect world all neuropsychologists are reliable and cannot be easily swayed. The reality is that this is a mixed bag.

My opinion is that if the neuropsychologist is bad, it will not matter when or whether you provide the previous report. I would provide the report along with your own description of what you have observed since that evaluation. Then during the screening process you can gauge their reaction and choose the evaluator that seems most open minded and not too stuck on the previous report.

Good luck!

Do you get that the core of a neuropsychology exam is a battery of normed and standardized tests? [/quote]
