Yeah, most of the Neuropsychologists here deal solely with children
diagnosed with CP.  Because of the fact that CP is a situation which
occurs at or around birth the children get the majority of the
rehabilitation and therefore the education is predominantly aimed at
pediatric neuropsychology.

I on the other hand went the backwards route working with adults first
(due to personal reasons) and children afterwards.  My area, where I
work, is with people diagnosed with acquired brain injuries, and
individuals with later difficulties associated with CP.

Managed Health Organizations frighten me to bits.  None of that up here
yet...and that is the functional word "yet".  You will get the interest
in fee collection with a number of specialists in every area you can
imagine.

My wife says you spelled extrapolate correctly....notice I had to get
her to check out the spelling!?!

Take it easy!
