[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 604284, member: 11791"] While I totally agree with a comprehensive evaluation - neuropsychologist is one option - MOST comprehensive evaluators do not have the capability to test for Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) or for Sensory or motor skills issues. SOME team-based evaluators might have these resources on the team, more frequently Occupational Therapist (OT) if anything. My experience is that it really pays to get every doggone evaluation you can get. Including medical evaluations... things like sleep studies, for example, if there's any hint at all of an issue with quality of sleep (it doesn't have to be a quantity issue)... because lack of quality sleep can be a major trigger for behaviour problems including violence. Typically, you get no more than you ask for... so, can you ask the family physician for a full medical work-up including blood work, to rule out any medical triggers for the issues? These medical triggers do not have to be new... they may have existed for a LONG time. [/QUOTE]
