It will be 3 months before I can get my evaluation appointment...thinking about going to a larger city so I can complete it sooner.
Take care,

Well for starters they say a list of 10-15 words for you to remember. Then they ask you all the words they said. It's just to see how fast you remember or how many you can remember out of all those words. They put me on a computer and there was a list of numbers. Five or six numbers together. Then you look at the numbers and the screen goes black. 10-15 seconds later they pop up on the screen with another list of numbers and you have to remember which set of numbers you saw. And you build things out of blocks and do math and word problems just to see how well you can concentrate. Then it just gets harder and harder to concentrate and remember things because all the tests takes about 4 hours. It was just really stressful for me because of my short term memory and lack of concentration. It may not be as bad for others. I do hope it all goes well for you.
