[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry OP again- how do I find such a person?  Ask pediatrician for recommendations?  Is Children's Hospital good?[/quote]

Are you in DC or VA?  I suggest heading over to the Special Needs forum and asking for recommendations.  Children's is good but notoriously hard to schedule.  They do have a behavioral therapy clinic, but it's located in a far-flung suburb.  [/quote]

... although come to think of it, it's possible it's all much easier to access now with telehealth!  our therapist worked almost exclusively with the parents.  she only saw our DS one time, and that was more for her to see him in person and get a brief sense of how we interact with him.  so it could be very feasible to do the parenting therapy entirely online.

If you went with the full-on Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, I think this could be done online as well, but not sure.  There is a significant component where they coach you on interacting with your child in real time.  We didn't end up doing it because we did therapy "backwards" because we had to work on extinguishing dangerous behaviors right away, which is more focused on the parents.  [/quote]
