I finally find a Neuro psychiatric that takes medicaid, and after spraining every limb from doing the happy dance, I fill out their questionnaire. I emailed it yesterday.
Today I get a call from the office, saying that the doctor looked at it, and he didn't think that Tink needed an evaluation. He said he problems seemed to be behavioral, but not cognitive or academic, so he did not think an evaluation was necessary. He is referring me to a behavioral specialist and an Occupational Therapist (OT).
I argued that I felt she had an improper diagnosis and was not getting the supports she needed. They said that no, I probably would not get any supports, considering how well she does in school. (I've never been able to get any Occupational Therapist (OT) services from her school, even though she has very blatant sensory issues, because they do not impede her ability to learn).
I feel like Charlie Brown! I can't even get a Neruopsych evaluation for my kid!!
