[quote=Anonymous]We have a 5 yo son who was diagnosed earlier this year with ADHD. We had seen Dr. Robin Chernoff, a developmental pediatrician at our regular practice, but she recently retired. It seems that the OT and behavioral therapy we've been doing are only working so much to address some of his issues. His K teacher has been great and has been implementing a behavior contract with some success for keeping his hands off of others/respecting personal space. But he is still exhibiting major impulse-control issues, to the point of really disrupting the class and costing him socially. There are definitely some attentional issues becoming more apparent now too. He is otherwise a very bright, likable kid. We feel ourselves inching closer to trying meds, so I'm looking for someone to take over his case. We don't need an evaluation or anything, just someone to review his records/reports and be able to prescribe medication. We are in the N.Bethesda/Rockville area. Wondering if anyone has any recs or has any experience with Dr. Karen Belsito.[/quote]
