Dr. Johanna Fricke answered

Specializes in Pediatrics - Developmental and Behavioral

Knowing strengths ;: Weaknesses is valuable for everyone. If you are on SSI ; medicaid, ask your caseworker ; your primary physician about referral to neuropsychologist. If you have commercial insurance, ask your doctor for a referral. A neuropsychological exam tells you how you learn best ; offer suggestions to maximize your strengths ; minimize your weaknesses. Be sure to apply for ada accommodations at work.
