For me, the NPA's best value was affirming the struggles I have and properly defining some that I did not understand. It helps me let go of the things I can not change.

With the knowledge of my condition, I can focus more on work-arounds, accommodations, and learning to avoid certain situations. The behavioral diagnostics helped my wife better understand me. It took a few years before she actually tried to understand the behavioral issues but when she did, it helped immensely.

If your husband has insurance that will partially cover an NPA, it may also have a network based fee structure. Most NPA's are based on fees tied to pages in the report. The NP may have a way to give you a simpler report since this NPA will not be used in litigation.

A preliminary abbreviated assessment or interview may help you understand the value of a full NPA.

Tough question to answer but the NPA info can be useful even if it is expensive information.

My best to you.
