I know they should be catered to each individual child, so there will be a bit of variety, but are there any major assessments I should be sure they are including? I guess it is important to make sure the tests they use can identify any visual or auditory processing problems. And executive functioning and working memory issues.
I am speaking with two different psychology practices today. One is an educational psychologist, but offers neuropsychological assessments as part of a comprehensive evaluation. Their website mentions gifted children. The other practice has neuropsychologists and it talks about differentiating between ADHD and other processing disorders. They don't seem to have much to say about gifted children, but I will ask on the phone.
We made the decision to do a neuropsychological assessment, now the stress is trying to make sure we get a good one.
