[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 370829, member: 1233"] When my son was in a long term psychiatric hospital for 4 months I kept attending the early morning staffings because it was the only time a parent had a chance of talking to the psychiatrist. When the staff and psychiatrist realized that I was going to attend and I was going to participate they started to do a lot more of what I asked. It took asking every week for about a month but they finally agreed to have a neuropsychologist evaluate my difficult child. Do what you need to in order to speak to the psychiatrist in charge. Be persistent. If it has been 3-4 years since her last evaluation ask for her to be retested in all areas. Children change so much every year that often new things come to light. If she is not retested it is very possible to have her diagnosis not address what is really going on. [/QUOTE]
