[quote=Anonymous]I called to get an assessment in the Developmental Neurology Dept at Children's. They set me up with an appointment in April. After I got off the phone, i googled who the appointment is with, and it's a nurse practitioner.

I'm not convinced my son has anything going on -- he's got some quirks at age 3, had some hearing issues for the last couple years which we are in the process of resolving with tubes and speech therapy, is very high energy, and has some sensory-seeking behaviors in loud settings. My guess (looking into a crystal ball) is we'll end up with a push by his school for an ADHD diagnosis in 3 years or so (whether or not he actually is ADHD), but the rest will be resolved through the tubes/speech therapy, and otherwise aging out of it.  But nonetheless, we've had enough red flags that I think it's worth having him checked out to cover our bases.

Is it okay if the eval is with a nurse practitioner?  They didn't ask whether i wanted to see an MD or not. [/quote]
