[QUOTE="SRL, post: 268507, member: 701"] From years of hearing parents report on their experiences, we really encourage parents of younger children to seek out assessments beyond therapists and child psychiatrists. There are certainly places for them in treatment but parents are reporting more thorough and often more accurate diagnostic results when they schedule with developmental pediatricians and/or pediatric neuropsychologists. It's not unusual for a psychiatrist to diagnose and offer medications after seeing a child for an hour or so whereas a pediatric neuropsychologist might spend 8 hours with a child of this age. Did they mention those speciality areas at all? (I took a peek at the website of the center you mentioned and now I'm going to edit out the name for the sake of your familiy's privacy) [/QUOTE]
