[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regardless of whether or not posters here say to get a neuropysch-to actually get one, you typically need a referral (like from the ped) and then you have a consultation with the provider to see if they are going to do it. That has been my experience 3 times now (neuropysch, pyschoeducational, now new neuro).

I didn't just call and say, schedule me a neuropysch. And the provider won't do it if they don't feel it's appropriate at that time-I had actually consulted for one 2 years ago, and the provider didn't want to do it at that time, but advised it for the time we are at now (entering middle school).

So, it's something a parent can look into, doesn't mean it's the time to do it, but you can get a consult.[/quote]
We have done one neuropsych. I am not sure what you mean by a referral. That didn't seem to be necessary when we did ours though we did tell them we were advised to get the evaluation by a psychologist. We did not have a consultation with the evaluating psychologist before committing to the evaluation, just a short convo with a coordinator type person. Not sure if their process would be different for someone who didn't volunteer that they were told to get the evaluation. This was with one of the major practices in the DMV that doesn't take insurance. We had a good experience and I am generally a proponent of neuropsychs (not for everyone obviously) but I think it would be great if they did do consultations first. The intake with the coordinator left a lot to be desired.[/quote]
