[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 751077, member: 18958"] I am in the United States so I don't know of resources in Australia. The field of prenatal, perinatal, birth psychology it is an emerging field. I myself was born 3 months early, and my son had a compromised birth, too. This is a special interest for me. I recommend a book called [U]Son Rise[/U], by Barry Neil Kaufman. His son was diagnosed with profound autism (which it is by no means clear that your son has). I only suggest it because he and his wife took on a radically different approach, which for them worked. Another book that parents here recommend is called [U]The Explosive Child[/U], by Ross McDonald, I think. I have not read it, but you can do a search here on this forum and you will find that book discussed. As far as finding a good neuropsychologist, are their Children's Hospitals in Australia? What about excellent University Medical Schools. They should have a pediatric child development clinic. My experience has taught me that I will feel most confident seeking help in these kinds of facilities. There should also be national neuropsychological associations. I would do a google search and I would see who does research in the kind of issues your child is having. And I might consider these people. I would also consider consulting people who work with babies and children who may not be psychologists or physicians, like occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, acupuncturists, even chiropractors, etc. I have found that cutting edge understanding and treatment is coming outside of the mainstream medical and psychological communities.
