[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in the field. Where you want to go depends on what you want to do with the information. IEP? Full neuropsych eval. Medication? A ped. Tools for executive function and emotional regulation? A therapist. [/quote]

Also completely and entirely incorrect. Man, you're full of misinformation. Only a psychologist or psychiatrist can diagnose mental health disorders properly. Pediatricians do not receive adequate training on this. Only a psychiatrist can prescribe, and for convenience, pediatricians can refill prescriptions that have already been approved by psychiatrists. Therapists come from many origins, with many different certifications and approaches, so they're a very mixed bag. You want someone trained in CBT (or ABA if it's a young kid and autism is in the mix). Executive function coaches are a very specific breed of service provider who are specialized in it. They're not necessarily therapists.
