[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a bad experience with Belsito because she wanted to take a history with our kid in the room. If you use her, insist on separate appointments so that you can be frank. She also didn't ask the school to fill out any checklists, so confirm with her what information she'll be using to make her diagnosis.[/quote]

We saw two different developmental pediatricians at KKI.  Both took the history in front of the kid and neither asked for the school to fill out any checklists.  The same goes for a psychiatrist whom we saw for one child later on.[/quote]

Wow, we've seen multiple psychiatrists, and multiple psychologists and there's always been an intake appointment where the kid wasn't even present.  One doctor had him work with another member of their team on assessment tasks while I talked to them, and the others he stayed home during the initial meeting. The only exception was the developmental psychologist my kid saw before his first birthday, but then I wasn't so worried about what he'd hear at that point.  [/quote]
