[QUOTE="buddy, post: 529058, member: 12886"] Yup, that's what I'd suggest, book the neuropsychologist (if your insurance doesn't cover it or you can't do private pay, insurance will sometimes cover a developmental pediatrician clinic which sometimes has the other specialists all work as a team) but try for the neuropsychologist if you can first... As I/C said then book the others which will likely be more easily scheduled. I for example can call straight to the clinic I want to go to and just give them teh neuro or pediatricians name (I then leave a message for that doctor saying, by the way you will be getting a call to refer my son for an evaluation, thanks for doing that... HAHAHAHA..it always has worked for me). Occupational Therapist (OT) (occupational therapist, their credential will say OTR in the USA which means registered Occupational Therapist (OT)) will look at motor development and sensory integration.... Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) (speech language pathologist... their credential will say M.A. or M.S.-CCC, Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) ...ccc is certificate of clinical competence and Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) is sp.lang... if you go to an audiologist they are covered by the same board so ccc-A) That person will look at motor speech mechanism (how the anatomy, muscles and nerves of the mouth and respiratory system work for communication), how speech sounds are developing, how understanding of language is coming along, how using language to get wants and needs met is coming along...and general how does the child communicate socially (called pragmatic language evaluation). If there are feeding issues both the Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) and the Occupational Therapist (OT) can do it depending on their additional interest and training, both make sense because of the areas they treat physically. The hospital I worked in all the brain injured people or people who had strokes etc... had the Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) do the feeding evaluations and radiology studies. Dont know if that is an issue for you but it can be for many kids. I like the team approach for that, both working on it because it can be soooo frustrating for the family and at times even life threatening. [/QUOTE]
