[QUOTE="Andy, post: 384843, member: 5096"] I would say find both. Find a team. One of each working in the same facility. My difficult child has a psychologist for therapy - was weekly for over a year and now down to every few months. The psychiatrist is the one to prescribe the medication. My difficult child's psychiatrist and therapist work together. The neuropsychologist doctor said the two were an awesome team. It is nice for difficult child to hear them support each other and know they are working together on this. We just accidently stumbled into ours. You may want to ask your child's pediatrician about a "team" or call the facility and ask the receptionist which psychiatrists seem to work with which tdocs. psychiatrists can also provide some basic testings to head toward a diagnosis. Your neuropsychologist staff may also have some suggestions? Ask who refers their patients to them. P.S. If you can get a neuropsychologist appointment in less then 4 - 6 months, then you have stumbled onto an opening very few people get (most likely a cancellation came up). It is a very very good thing! :) [/QUOTE]
