Re: [ADD_ADHD_LD] TOVA test

As a professional and also a mom of an ADHD child, I highly recommend people
not to make do w/ the TOVA test; it is recognised as being very limited. I
always recommend people take their kids for very thorough testing at one of
the hospitals. I have had excellent experience w/ Hadassa.
