[quote=RisingMiddleSchoolMama]Thank you.  We know Dr. Conlon as he evaluated my son several years ago.  Unfortunately, he went to Krieger last summer (at John Hopkins) and Kaiser does not have a developmental pediatrician on staff right now.   I initially requested to see Dr. Conlon at Krieger or a specialist at Children's for my daughter's evaluation due to Kaiser's gap (as they aren't fully staffed).  They denied my request.  We went to Dr. Syd Brown at Shady Grove thinking we were getting a full neuropsych evaluation.  Only after the testing did I find out according to his words, he did "cognitive and personality testing".  He said no insurance company would pay for more testing, including what he said was "education testing".  Just to note,  I didn't request education testing.  I was looking for a correct dx specific to whether our daughter has Aspergers and to receive the needed services.   My expressed concern with our pediatrician was that our daughter would not be dx accurately.

I'm really struggling as I can't find a therapist (Kaiser or otherwise) who is skilled at working with Girl Aspergers Tweens/Teens and I am overwhelmed at how best to deal with Kaiser.   We started this process in Oct (at my daughter's 12th birthday) approaching Kaiser for an evaluation due to our concerns and middle school is only months away now.  Our daughter needs a therapist so that is my first priority.

Thank you so much.
