We actually started with the ped, they refer out issues like this through either the children's hospital's behavioral program or through a local place called the Child Study Center. Neither place is covered by our insurance, and to have him assessed there would cost well over $1500, not to mention any treatment they recommended. We did get this psychiatrists name from them and he is highly recommended. I had never been to a psychiatrist before, and at first I was kind put off by him. My husband has been to several over the years (because of his ADHD) and he really likes this psychiatrist.
My husband picked up DS right when school got out today, instead of having him go to after school care like normal. I think we are going to try to do that when we can. I am going to get the paperwork tomorrow from the VP to have DS evaluated by the school, but she says that will likely take about 60 days. I also requested info from the private school I mentioned, so we'll see how that goes and if it's possible to get him there (or elsewhere) this school year.
