[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Straight to a psychiatrist. Fair warning, none I contacted took insurance, and all were around $1000 oop for diagnosis.

As a teacher, once you get the diagnosis I'd go straight to the school and request an IEP/504 evaluation. They can provide counseling at school and/or put accommodations in place so that your daughter had a support system set up. Don't do it in September (or else teacher feedback is a waste--they don't know her yet!) but by November/December for sure.[/quote]

Ha thanks for the warning! We have an HSA so at least we could claim it against that. Very overwhelmed lol, a lot going on in general, DH and I thought we may be headed this direction, but realizing we're there...

Okay off to read a lot of information!

First PP here.  We were able to find a psychiatrist in our plan and the wait was not excessive - like maybe two months.  I would caution you against jumping immediately to private pay unless you have significant resources.  Thing is that these issues don't go away or don't go quickly and the costs add up very fast.
