[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 425715, member: 1233"] I don't come over here much and hope you have found someone new to treat your son. I do think you need to file a complaint against the therapist because he HAS abandoned your son. many people don't find play therapy very helpful. There was a thread a few years ago and the parents who had tried it were all very frustrated by it. I will say that this therapist is NOT doing play therapy even if he says he is. The psychiatrist also needs to know this because if it is mandatory that you see a therapist in the practice then the psychiatrist better get on the ball and make sure they have a therapist who CAN and WILL treat him. At his age many tdocs will say they cannot really treat a child that young. We heard this over and over. They would only speak to us and observe Wiz' behavior in the office. A lot were quacks but there was some logic to it. A child your son's age cannot reason the way an older child or adult can, so many of the things taught in therapy won't be very useful because your son is too young to really grasp them. But he can grasp some things and the therapist should at least try. As for insurance, they MUST cover someone in your area who is equipped to treat your child. We got a therapist approved on a special contract because no one in our area, within fifty miles, would take us as patients. Either they were too busy, or only saw a specific problem (one man has a HUGE practice that is ALL male children from age 11 to 18 and ALL he treats are school related problems. He is AWFUL and most of the boys HATE him. He creeped me and Wiz out to the point I suspect he may be inappropriate iwth the boys. Not sure how, but something is very wrong with him, in my opinion). So when we needed a therapist for Jess he was the only one taking new patients and she wasn't eligible to be a patient because she is female. So we used that to get a therapist we loved approved. As for autism, our schools will do a developmental screening which IS an autism screening. They have gotten quite good from what I have heard. There is a TON of $$ for grants for autism education and identification so our school has really pushed to bring that $$ here. A lot depends on the school. I hope you get some real help. I found that this site was more help than all but one of the tdocs we ever saw. [/QUOTE]
