[quote=Anonymous]The questions are: - Do you need a full evaluation (neuropsych) by a psychologist to get an ASD or ADHD diagnosis? Answer: not necessarily, psychiatrists and developmental pediatricians can also diagnose, but these are not cheap or easy to access either. Pediatricians can also diagnose ADHD but pediatricians are generally not great with developmental issues. AND - Do you need an ASD or ADHD diagnosis to get insurance to cover necessary services? Answer: Sometimes, depending on your specific plan and the services you need. AND - Is a medical diagnosis the same thing as an educational diagnosis? Answer: No, you can have a medical diagnosis and not qualify for an educational diagnosis, and still get services through your insurance even if the schools don't provide services. And an educational diagnosis won't help if the insurance requires a medical diagnosis to cover services.[/quote]
