Ok so finally got a referral to a Children's hospital to have difficult child evaluated. I told the pediatrician that I wanted a referral to one of two places in our area for a neuropsychologist evaluation. They left a message today to do the intake questionnaire. Are there any questions I should ask when I call back tomorrow to make sure this is what we need/neuropsychologist evaluation?
This is what it says when I look up the particular doctor/facility:
Specialty: Pediatric, Developmental Behavioral
Certifications: Pediatrics; Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics
Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics
Developmental pediatricians are highly trained and experienced in identifying a range of developmental and behavioral differences. They can evaluate your child's overall development, provide a diagnosis, and recommend specific treatment plans. Developmental pediatricians also can coordinate medical evaluations or prescribe medications when appropriate. They often act as an advocate during school planning, providing documentation and support to make sure your child receives needed services.
Our Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics practitioners provide medical evaluations for children 3-13 years of age with suspected developmental behavioral disabilities, medication management and follow-up care. Conditions commonly seen in our clinic include:
Referral Process
Once a referral is received from your childs primary care provider a packet of information will be mailed to your home. We request completion of this information by you and your childs teacher as well as any previous academic or developmental testing for our providers to review prior to the initial appointment.
As part of the evaluation families will also receive recommendations for treatment or referrals to other specialists (i.e., therapies, genetics, nutrition, etc.) as needed.
