[QUOTE="SRL, post: 27624, member: 701"] Sorry, I just now caught this post. Thanks for helping out! For a child this young it's always best to start with an evaluation that includes an MD so I'd start with the developmental pediatricians. If you go this route ask about wait time and if it's long (more than 3 months) ask to get put on their cancellation list. Also if the wait time is longer, ask for names of pediatric neuropsychogists in their system. They usually do a good job but as young as this kiddo is, in my opinion, it would be preferable for the MD route should be covered as well. I'm hearing wait times in some places out East that are simply unacceptable so ask that up front. Also, sometimes a referral from another specialists within their system can speed up the appointment times so seeing anyone within the behavioral realm can sometimes be better than no-one. ie neurologists aren't usually our top choices for evaluations such as these but they can sometimes redirect and expedite referral appointments. Thanks again for helping- [/QUOTE]
