[quote=Anonymous]For an ADHD/HFA kid, our experience was the same as OP's. We did our first assessment when DS was 3 at KKI with a dev ped - and i guess that was helpful. But it was never proposed by anyone that we have an ongoing relationship, so we didn't, and have never missed it. Psychiatrist and psychologist, plus ongoing support from our regular ped, has met our need well enough. Agree with others that dev peds are probably tremendously helpful for complex matters like genetic abnormalities. And also for people who are clueless. But for your average parent of a ADHD kid on dcum with a graduate degree and the internet at their fingers, I don't think it's helpful. [/quote]
