[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't agree with starting with your pediatrician, unless you are asking for a referral. This is not their area of expertise. If you are concerned you should see a) a developmental pediatrician or b) a child/family psychologist. Either one could be extremely helpful. [/quote] And while you are doing this, you should formally request an IEP -- they have up to 120 days in DC, so it could take a while. Document all the issues that the teacher is reporting to you; if the teacher tells you something verbally, send her an email summarizing the conversation. Many developmental pediatricians have long waits. I suggest Paula Elitov, a developmental psychologist who will do school observations as part of her evaluations and has more reasonable availability. If you are seeing these problems at home, I also suggest Dr. Dan Shapiro's parenting class: http://www.parentchildjourney.com[/quote]
