[QUOTE="Stella, post: 249057, member: 6837"] Well he does intend to monitor for longer and she will contiue to go to him on a weekly basis. He has even bought himself a Nintendo DS and her favourite (Mariokarts) game to use as a catalyst to build up a rapport with her. For the first time last week she went into his room without screaming the place down. He said he even got a few smiles from her this week! He has noticed things already - for instance he tried to change games at one stage and she was having none of it - hence he has noticed how "rigid" she is about things. Also she refuses to sit down while in his office. She has made up her mind that she will NEVER sit down whilst there - her way of retaining some control of the situation i suppose. Unfortunately neuropsychologist's are VERY few and far between in Ireland. I rang the main children's hospital in Dublin and asked about getting a referral to one I was told they "used to have a Neuropysch there but he is gone" - so now they don't have ANY neuropsychologist's at all in the hospital. There is only one children's psychiatric hospital in the whole of Dublin and there is only 8 beds in it. 70% of kids here who end up going to a psychiatric hospital end up in an ADULT psychiatric hospital which i can imagine could be traumatising for a child. Our health system is a farce!! [/QUOTE]
