[QUOTE="totoro, post: 7645, member: 3155"] I had to do the video tape after 3 pediatricians... I journaled also, kept a brief log of all info regarding, my difficult child, It is a pain in the you know what, but they take you seriously when you can show them the video. Especially if you can get a clear, start, middle and end. I ended up with about 5 different instances of her emotions, cut them down and had an excellent video. It took some time but was worth it. I would also highly reccommend the parent report... this is also time consuming. But all of our Doctor's have thanked us for this. We included in the end just a list of all of her behaviors that are of concern to us, I think there was over 60 something!!! We also always include copies of every diagnosis and report or evaluation for the doctor to keep. They like this because then they don't have to take the time to make the copies themselves. At all of your meetings try to stay calm,clear, concise & try to not act like you know more than the doctor, but let them know you are willing to do ANYTHING for your child and are very concerned. After reading a few of the doctors reports it amazed me what they write about us!!! One said they thought I was just a Mom that needed to VENT!!! I had luckily already gotten rid of that one... Sorry this is so frustrating....been there done that. good luck, eventually someone will listen. [/QUOTE]
