Guest guest Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Hi everyone, My name is Toni and we have 5 kids. Giorgia 9 Receptive and Expressive Speech Delay Nykolas 7 Receptive and Expressive Speech Delay, Just diagnosed with High Functioning Autism Charli 5 Smarty Pants 2.5 Cheeky pants 3 months lovely boy Nykolas was diagnosed with High Functioning Autism last week, it was very confronting when the Psychologist told us but we always new there was something not quite right. All the Psychologist has said for us to do so far is to purchase her. report. We are wondering what this will do for Nykolas besides make it formal?? And what else can we do for him to help him?? Giorgia is next to be tested and we are thinking it will be a similar outcome. Thanks for letting us join, we were feeling a bit lonely.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Yes, I agree. It is a very unusual pricing schedule. Ask them to explain to you why they charge for the report. What good is an evaluation without a report?Do you know what testing was done? I would want to know specifically that all appropriate testing for qualifying as ASD was done before paying for a report. It would be incredibly frustrating to find out that you really had an incomplete eval, after paying for it. I did pay $1500 for our eval, but it was complete and thorough, and very helpful.Sent from my iPad I don't know how long u were there for both your appts, but usually a full Neuro-Psych evaluation (which takes 5 hours or longer) is around $1,000 or more for the evaluation. But to me it seems weird that the report costs more then the visits, and that they charge u so much for the report. Jenn I think it was a full evaluation. My husband and I had appt got asked 100 questions. Then she did a 1on 1 with Nykolas and there was also paperwork for his teachers and us to take home to do. The report is $450 and the 2 appts were $200 a pop. She said he presents as Aspergers but says he is High Functioning Autism To: autism-aspergers Sent: Monday, 13 June 2011 9:41 AM Subject: Re: Newbie That could be! Evaluations can be very expensive.
