[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here.  I had gotten feedback that made me suspect inattentive ADHD in my DD10 and got her tested recently.  She came back with no ADHD diagnosis, but the psychologist’s assessment of her strengths and weaknesses was so, so helpful.  If you can afford the evaluation, I see no downside to having your child assessed. [/quote]

Can you tell which specific evaluation you got and approximate cost? What kinds of items were in strengths and weaknesses?[/quote]

Here is a list of the tests that were administered:

BASC-3
BRIEF-2
BYI-2
CPT 3
Connor’s-4
D-KEFS Advanced
NEPSY-II
MASC 2
WIAT-4
WISC-V

It would take me too long to type out the full name of every test, but you can look them up.  These cover IQ, academic testing (reading & math), attentiveness, executive function, anxiety, behavior, etc.  The psychologist went over the scores with us and gave us her interpretation of certain parts and how she believed A could affect B.  I don’t want to make this evaluation seem the end-all-be-all, but DH and I do feel we understand our DD a lot better now and will be able to better support her.

FYI we are no longer in DMV, where I think the cost of this full eval would be higher.  This clinic told us the cost would be capped at $2100, if insurance did not cover.  They were in-network, which brought the cost down to $1500, but our crappy plan covers -0- till we hit our deductible so we had to pay the full amount.[/quote]
