[QUOTE="Malika, post: 422004, member: 11227"] Thanks. Things are a lot more centralised or unified than that here. There is just one neuro-psychologist that I can see in my area, through the state and it does not cost anything (we pay for health care through professional taxes). This woman is going to be replaced, presumably, but at the moment they are not making any appointments for the autumn. The present neuro-psychiatric is fully booked up for months ahead; basically, to be able to see her, I have to pretend that J is a lot "worse" that the psychologist and teacher are currently telling me he is. The woman I spoke to at the children's centre to which the neuro-psychiatric is attached told me that they would need to contact the school psychologist to get more info in making the judgement of whether he could be seen or not. But the school psychologist has told me in her opinion all is fine and dandy for the moment! So I have the rather farcical situation of having to ring the psychologist to ask if she wouldn't mind playing things up a bit if they ring her... Also going to talk to his teacher today to ask whether she would also mind saying that she has concerns to this service... In a way - and I say this knowing just how difficult and heartbreaking it must be to have it so - it is "easier", perhaps, if the child is really unambiguously troubled and unable to function??
