[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Neuropsych evals can be very helpful in the situations you described[b], but there is also a tendency on this board for people to recommend neuropsych evaluation as a first step when there are other options that may be faster, cheaper, and effective.[/b] For example, if a parent suspects their child may have mild to moderate anxiety or ADHD, an intake appointment with a child psychologist or psychiatrist may be fully effective in diagnosing, treating, and getting school accommodations.

I’m OP and I absolutely agree with this. This was our path with one child and for another where the symptoms were very complicated and behavior was a real issue, we did neuropsych. We got the diagnoses we needed to pursue accurate treatments. Eight years later child us thriving and we wouldn’t be here without the correct diagnoses.

I posted because there are absolutely times and places for neuropsychs.

The aggressive poster has an axe to grind and seems to think they are a grift. My intention is for parents to feel supported and know that it can be a really good option especially when things are confusing and/or other things have been tried.

I have no idea what the intentions of the aggressive poster is. Truly.
