[QUOTE="SRL, post: 167497, member: 701"] I never did find a list like that out there so we created our own. in my opinion, a good basic thorough evaluation for a child this age will consist of speech, occupational therapy for motor skills and sensory processing issues, a hearing test by an audiologist and then some kind of lead diagnostician to evaluate the behavioral aspect and pull it all together. For these little ones parents overall here have had better success with developmental pediatricians and pediatric neuropsychologists. Psychiatrists and therapists certainly have their place but often parents report later that they didn't get the full picture that way. Push for as much as you can get up front. [/QUOTE]
