[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I have heard a lot about dr black and I'm sorry if this offends some, but I have often wondered if dr black has ever not diagnosed a child with some SN case. I worry that people like him may over diagnose. [/quote]

I don't know about others but I know that for my child, Dr Black diagnosis, report and recommendations for treatment are spot on and has made DS's life 1000% better.[/quote]

I would also think that if you're at the point of paying 4000 out of pocket for an evaluation you at least know *something* is wrong, even if you're going because you don't quite know what.  Is that going to be universally true?  Nothing ever is.  But it's a highly self selecting population.  [/quote]

We already had an Asperger's diagnosis from 3 other evals so the findings weren't too much of a surprise.  It's generally recommended that kids with IEPs get a new eval every three yrs bc the IEP renewal comes up every three yrs.

We could have requested an evaluation at no cost to us from our public school - they will do a psych Ed eval and they did one for DS in preschool which we were happy with - but wanted to go to Dr Black for a full neuropsych.  Worth it for us.[/quote]
