Frequently Asked Questions My child has been assessed previously. He/she was determined to have a problem, we followed the treatment plan, and he/she continues to struggle. What can I do to help him/her? All assessment techniques are not the same. For instance, children are often diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder using behavioral checklists. These are instruments which are typically completed by parents, teachers, or both. Although checklists indicate the type and frequency of behavior, they do not explain the cause of behavior or what to do to address it. On the other hand, neuropsychological testing may explain exactly what the child can and cannot do. It also indicates whether there is a problem, what it is, and what can be done to help the child. If your child is still struggling, you may wish to seek a second opinion by exploring neuropsychological testing. |
