Thank you all for your help! I felt so lost...again! lol I spoke with the pediatrician and they said to start with the PCP and she will send the referral to the therapists they usually work with. I also finally got a callback from the Children's Mental Health facility in this area. I will get...

Okay so got my son evaluated-Check, find a new therapist-what? So when my son got evaluated, I was under the impression that he would then begin therapy with the psychiatric that evaluated him. I guess I am wrong. He advised me to find a therapist...so how do I? I mean I am in an area where PTSD is...

Agreed! I heard about this and really was disgusted with the vitriol that this person spewed out in that letter. What gives you the right?!

So on my son's psychiatric evaluation I did get one piece of advice I thought was great. I was advised that with my son being gifted (higher intelect than most children his age) that we should seek out a therapist that customarily works with gifted children. The reasoning was due to the way they...

Well, Monday my son saw the Psychologist and (honestly this was my mistake) another individual. I don't know the qualifications on that gentleman but I'm hoping to find out more on the diagnosis written up for my son. The appointment was supposed to take 2 hours, but took nearly 4! Thank God I was off...

Thanks for the advice! I've been separating her from him and making it clear that she is not okay to react that way. I haven't sat down with her about the behaviors just yet, but I will be doing that today. With school tomorrow I need to be prepared. :smile:

Not yet, that is what has me so excited about Monday.

Well, I am counting the days (JUST TWO THANK GOD) until my dear son gets to see the Pyschologist. I know it's not a nueropsych, but it's a start and a start we have truly been waiting on for years. Plus, I did express my interest in a neuropsychologist, so I will be pushing the issue. Also I sent out...

SuZir I love your advice on dealing with children in the same approach as training a dog. That is not to say I think one is the same as the other, however the techniques you point out I think are very helpful!

No worries-I am on it when it comes to paper trails. BCBS tried to drag it out on payment and I tracked them for 9 months!! In any case we are moving forward. The first appointment is set with a psychiatric and I've made it very clear I want a Neropsych evaluation as well. I am sending the letters tomorrow...

Thank you all for your feedback!! I have read up on encopresis and was referring to my son as having it for awhile, but my husband made a good point. He requested I refrain from calling it that until he's actually diagnosed. And he came at it from the angle that it could be physical. Thus...

I know the title sounds bizarre but it really is spot on. It was hard, in the beginning, when he didn't speak much by 2. When he got to 3, he still didn't speak well. We figured out it was because his sister, 2 years older than him, kept talking for him. So we told her to stop speaking for him...
