Hi all! My son had an evaluation at school he was diagnosed with ED, OHI. I didn’t think the diagnosis was correct so I took him to see a neuropsychologist that diagnosed him with Autism(specifically Asperger Syndrome), anxiety and ADHD. The school district states he needs a new evaluation from them to change the diagnosis. I don’t want him to be reevaluated by the school because he is able to mask his symptoms quite well and quite frankly they have failed him many times. I am in Pennsylvania if that helps. I would think the credentials of a neuropsychologist would trump a school psychologist but the school thinks differently. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much for your help 🙂

We live in Doylestown, PA. We moved to US during this summer from Belgium. We have 12 year old son whose initial ER findings from school district are ADHD, SLD and Speech/Language Impairment. At the moment we have ongoing meetings/conversations with school about his 1st IEP and from the initial draft they have proposed the related services will not be enough (they offered once per week ST and twice per week OT) - there is no mention of psychological counseling, or more of speech therapy although we asked for that. We also ask for 1:1 support and they refuse it so far. While preparing for the 2nd IEP meeting, I want to learn about medical healthcare and de…

It is my prayer that God will use each counseling opportunity to allow me to help a person see the strengths within themselves and to take one step at a time in overcoming the struggles of life. Struggles and setbacks in life can hit anyone at any time; none of us are immune. I also believe God created each of us to walk with joy in life, however, I believe he knows we need His helpers here on earth in staying on that joyful walk.
