[QUOTE="forkeeps251, post: 527195, member: 12854"] Our experience with a play therapist was that it was sort of a gateway to refer us to other specialists. Because of difficult child's age, no one is psychology or psychiatry would see him (he was 5 going on 6). I held off for a while because I didn't really think a play therapist would do anything... However, the way it worked at the children's physician network I was going through is that I would first meet with a play therapist, then she would meet with my son twice more, and then the last appointment was for her to give me her observations and referral. So we did that, and then he was referred to a psychologist and a psychiatrist. The psychologist did an evaluation on him (testing for ADHD and anxiety disorders), which consisted of a 1 hour appointment then a 3 hour appointment at a later time. The psychiatrist, then was of course only used to perscribe medications. Since then we have not been back to the play therapist, but it definatly helped to get us in and point us in the right direction for other specialists we saw. [/QUOTE]
