[QUOTE="SarahO, post: 298892, member: 7639"] Reporting back after some further investigations! OK, so our GP was fairly useless but finally got us a referral to s developmental pediatricia, appointment is in two weeks. Alongside that, I've got DS into a private psychological assessment. We had our first 1.5 hour session last week, the second 1.5 hour session is today. I instantly liked this psychologist and I feel very confident in her. Phew! She is unable to formally comment until the assessment is complete, but she had some interesting "off the record" comments from last week's initial session. She said that two things strike her right off the bat....1) his high intelligence and 2) his low processing ability. She gave me an example that DS had built an entire complex village out of wooden blocks, but when she asked him to mimic her putting a red block next to a white one, he couldn't do it no matter how hard he tried. Huh! Fascinating stuff. Anyway, she is reserving putting labels on things but sees a pattern in his high intellect/low ability to sort or organize incoming information. I'm wondering...for those who've taken kids to a developmental pediatrician, what should I expect at the appointment? Would they do bloodwork and stuff or would it be more of a history-gathering? Thanks guys! Sarah [/QUOTE]
