[QUOTE="Superpsy, post: 244635, member: 5848"] As a school psychiatric I would say go ahead and sign it...what your school psychiatric told you was true. Results can be skewed if you give the same test too soon after. For example, I stopped testing a student after 5 minutes because she said, "Oh, I just did this test! My parents took me to this doctor..." Messes up results...wished the parents had told me (they told the principal and he didn't think it was important to mention) but they didn't and so I gave another test. This situation is really your call and depends on how much you trust the school psychiatric to share everything he/she is told/receives with you. If you want to have control of the situation I would continue to call and get the information directly from the other psychiatric. That is the only way to ensure you get all the information the school will receive. Another thing to note is that sometimes "professionals" respond more quickly to similar professionals. For example, when a parent is given a run-around by a doctor/therapist/psychiatric I usually have the parents sign a release and make the calls for them. Typically a call from me will hurry things along...sorry for the delay and hang-up. [/QUOTE]
