[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: special ed lawyer you were right.  I spoke to the special ed director just to get info and it was immediately "oh it's summer.  No one is around."

Given the bandwidth of the family, I think the best that can be done is they email the director and start the conversation.  I don't know if the family would have the ability to juggle a lot of testing off site during the summer anyway.

However, in the interim, should the family switch pediatricians?  They are currently at Mary's Center.

Would Children's National be better if we anticipate specialized testing?  One parent has insurance through their job- would putting the child on there be helpful?  Is there any testing any pediatrician could do over the summer to start the ball rolling?

Thank you!!![/quote]

The Children's primary care doctors aren't able to do developmental evaluations any more than any other pediatrician and they also aren't able to expedite waiting lists. So if the family likes their Mary's Center pediatrician, there's no reason to change.

Employer sponsored health insurance is sometimes accepted by more places than medicaid, so it might give more options. It might also have better out of network coverage.[/quote]
