[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t put it like this but as the mom of a child who has several mild-moderate SN I do think there is a lot out there that is *helpful* but not necessary. So much of evaluating children is just compared to the theoretical average that virtually every kid is going to be off that in some way or another. And now we have ways to help those kids, which I think is fine, but people should be clear that some of these things are not going to be that beneficial. I ended up crying on the phone to our primary pediatrician after yet another appointment with where a specialist listed off a bunch of other time consuming and expensive things we could try. And thankfully she gave me great advice to pick the most important things but to make sure my DD got to be a kid and had time to play and do things for fun too. I really needed permission from her to do that, even though I already knew it in my heart. Some things have improved on their own more than expected with time and maturity and of course we do the most essential and evidence based things consistently and keep reevaluating if new real needs pop up.[/quote]
