[QUOTE="idohope, post: 378369, member: 7722"] If the neuropsychologist office requires a referral make it as easy as possible for the pediatrician to do so. When I was told this by the neuropysch office I immediately typed a letter to the pediatrician. Explaining that I had contacted Dr. so and so and that they would be contacting you for a referral and here are the reasons that I think this is appropriate. I then listed the main behavioral concerns and hand delivered the letter to the office that day. I wanted it to be there for the doctor when he was contacted about the referral. Even if a referral is required I think it is best if you can get the neuropsychologist office to call your pediatrician office requesting the referral. It puts the ball in their court rather than the pediatrician office needing to take the first step of the calling the neuropsychologist office. I agree with Marg that if the pediatrician is not supporting your in getting referrals then you should seek another pediatrician. Given that your difficult child has anxiety issues how is the behavior in the pediatricians office? My difficult child lay on the floor in fetal position around age 8 thru a pediatrician appointment which made it really clear to him that her ability to deal with activities of daily living were impacted.
