[QUOTE="hersheyb79, post: 421547, member: 11482"] Thanks everyone. My son has had 4 EI evaluations though our school district (he's in pre-k now)...each time they say that the behaviors are bad, but that because he is academically gifted they cannot provide services (he has to test below 10% of normal to qualify for services, he tests above that because of his ability to read at such a young age). I'm told he can have a 504 plan, but not an IEP because he's "too smart." I'm told that to have the 504 he has to have a diagnosis. Personally, he's got a diagnosis that I believe is wrong...and I don't want him labeled with it until he's had more testing and it's determined that he's actually ODD/ADHD. He was given the diagnosis specifically so that he could get the 504. I will call BCBS today. I've been trying to figure this neuropsychologist stuff out. I see a few neuropsychologist docs listed on my insurance plan, do I just call and ask for an apt (we have a PPO, so no referrals are necessary, last time I asked for one they just gave me the phone number of the idiot we were seeing). I'd like him to go to Children's, but I can't figure it out...do I just call them and say I want a neuropsychologist evaluation? In order to get a developmental screening it's a 10-12m wait (I'm not sure if the developmental screening is the same as a neuropsychologist screening). [/QUOTE]
