[quote=Anonymous]We used Dr. Adele Green (formerly at Stixrud) now at CAAT. She is known nationally and locally for her expertise in LD's, ADHD and identifying aspects that typical psychologists don't. We really liked/appreciated that she typically completes assessments on a Sunday and then a 1/2 day on Monday, does ALL of her own testing, goes the extra mile (which does not often happen), and provides the writen report IN A WEEK!!!! My daughter immediately liked her when they met. Dr. Green built repotire quickly and provided hot chocolate throughout the testing experience (b/c she had learned that this is my daughters favorite). We really, really appreciated that she did her own testing. In our case this allowed her to pick up VERY NUANCED proccessing challenges (ie: repeating words in her mind over and over in an attempt to 'lock them into her brain') that likely would have been missed if there had not been consistency in testers. Finally, Dr. Green (in a week's time) consulted with no less then 3 seperate opthamalogists regarding really nuanced issues of vision processing/functioning that had been missed over the past 6 years by the vast array of specialists we have seen. During one of our many telephone intake conversations she made some vision based recomendations that led us to a new set of specialists (again-previous OT's, SLP, developmental ped, etc...never picked up on this). It was identified that my daughter had major vision/depth perception challenges that required immediate use of glasses. Finally, she provided us with a 30+ page neuropsych evaluation. It was very detailed and painfully thorough.[/quote]
