[QUOTE="tryingtocope, post: 43748, member: 3549"] I'm frustrated and very worried about what is going to happen this summer. Jan 2007- difficult child kicked out of preschool has been home since then. Mar 2007-took difficult child to psychiatrist who said he has ADHD and prescribed Adderall after just meeting him once. Apr 2007-took difficult child to developmental pediatrician and was told to get him evaluated by school district. Last week I took difficult child to the second appointment with the developmental pediatrician. I was not able to get the teacher form filled out because he was fired because of some incident with a child. Developmental pediatrician told me she didn't have enough information to make a diagnosis without the teacher form and that I need to put him back in preschool. At this point, none of the preschools in my area are accepting children because the end of the year is quickly approaching. I only found one but it is a house that was turned into a daycare--not sure about their qualifications but will ask. I start my fellowship June 18 and have no one to take care of difficult child. All my local daycares have summer programs that start June 25 or July 2. I also am terrified about how he will behave at a preschool. I found an integrated preschool, but it is only open 8:30-1:30. I thought that maybe if I found a nanny she could pick up my difficult child from the summer program and watch my easy child, but the cost is $500-600 a week. It would clear out my savings to pay this for 8 weeks (the length of my summer program). Ughh...so my head is spinning. I have his evaluation next week, but I don't think it will be in enough time to get him services in the summer. How long did it take most of you to get a diagnosis that you were comfortable with? How long did it take to get services? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
