[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The answer depends on how quickly you want the answer. The fastest is your pediatrician. After that, a psychiatrist and after that full neuropsych testing. For the latter two, you may not have your answer for many months due to waitlists for testing and wait time for the report - maybe six or more months. And if you get your diagnosis through testing, then you need to find a doctor to prescribe medications which is another wait time for the appointment. If you are looking for accommodations at school you also then need to go through the 504 process. Honestly in your shoes I’d start with the pediatrician. You want answers now not in June. You can always follow up with other evaluations. [/quote] NO. A pediatrician is NOT trained to diagnose ADHD. [/quote]
