[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never heard a neuropsych not diagnose something. If you get a neuropsych you get a dx - likely more than one[/quote]

Huh? I certainly have.[/quote]

+1 We were told, the kid has some characteristics of certain diagnoses and could benefit from some targeted therapies, but does not have the right combinations to get an actual diagnosis. This basically meant if we wanted to help him, we had to pay for it all out of pocket privately; no insurance and no school intervention, even though the specific characteristic and symptoms were causing major problems sociaily and academically.

Same on the physical side of things: with our infant who couldn't hold his head up or use his hands effectively to grasp, pinch, or hold, was but was 'just a smidge on the 'normal' side of tone," so while the doctor said PT was absolutely necessary for physical development and eventually achieving milestones, it would not be covered by insurance and did not qualify for any school based services later in life.

I read these 'over diagnosis' threads with a huge eye roll. And those suggesting teachers would point it out if there was a problem, no, not unless your kid is throwing tables. They don't have time for the paperwork.[/quote]
