ColinsMum, is it possible that a neuropsychologist (US) and educational psych (UK) might be very similar in the types of eval a student would receive? I'm just curious - we frequently hear neuropsych evals here referred to as "educational evals".
FWIW, our neuropsych does not see patients unless they are first referred by another dr, most often a child's pediatrician. Folks who are concerned can't typically just call up a neuropsych (or other type of therapist etc) office in the US and just get an appointment - even if they want to pay out of pocket. I agree, it's a different world! I have friends from the UK so I've heard a bit about the medical system there... just wanted to point out it's not something you can just order up on a whim here either
