[QUOTE="jal, post: 389281, member: 3477"] We have been in both positions. One where we had a psychiatrist who wanted difficult child to have therapy...we tried play therapy, he could've cared less, plus he was like 5 or 6 at the time and the only time we could go was at 6pm. He was so done for the day. We've been through a few psychiatrists that didn't push it too. We are now in the same situation as you have to see the therapist to get to the psychiatrist. It's bs...The therapist does nothing. difficult child barely talks and its the same script and 20 minutes everytime we go. I have stayed with it as these are local services we got assistance from after difficult child's hospitalization a few years ago and I am also not thrilled with-the psychiatrist, but they are close and take our insurance. Our last psychiatrist was a 40 min ride and $150 out of pocket everytime and I'd have to fight my then insurance to get out-of-network reimbursement. Although we liked him we just couldn't keep doing it. difficult child has therapy (ind and group) at school so my main thing when we entered here is I didn't want him overloaded with therapy. We see them both on avg every 1-1 1/2 months, but there is no real therapy going on just another co-pay. difficult child has his bucket of coping skills and seems to use them when prompted at school. Sometime he'll use them at home but not always. I think it's helped a bit, but it definately wasn't learned from the therapist I pay. As for the neuropsychologist, do you have any pivate practicing ones in your area that accept insurance? That's how we got started. We had our own evaluation done around the age of 4. We have been fortunate that we don't have to fight our SD as they have bent over backwards to assist us, so any testing/evaluations that I have requested have been done at their expense. [/QUOTE]
