[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP with an update.  I've reached out to the school counselor about reducing or pausing the homework until we get her back on track.  I've scheduled a follow up with her endocrinologist.  And we are searching for a therapist for her.  Next on my list is to get her a cardiologist appointment, in case she will be prescribed any medication.

Quick question to PP re: bringing DD to our intake session at the private provider.  We were planning on not taking her - and I thought the psychologist said typically it's just for the parents.  Do you think otherwise? We brought our daughter to the initial consultation, and was able to meet the psychologist then.  She turned her chair around and refused to talk to anyone, which was expected, and good for the psychologist to see.[/quote]

Not the PP, but in my experience, a neuropsychologist, or anyone doing testing, will want to see you alone, and then take a few days to make a plan for testing, and then see the child alone for a couple days close together for the testing.

A treating psychologist, one who is providing therapy, often will do a combined intake, where they see you and the child separately and then together.  If you worry about your kid being physically or emotionally safe sitting in a waiting room, they may do it differently.  Some kids might really spiral in that situation.

Obviously, I'd ask for the specific doctor's approach, but that's what I've seen most often.  [/quote]
