Guest guest Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Hi Charlyne, Hi, how are things going today? I think taking Zeb to see the child psychiatrist is a good idea even though as you say you can't get much out of him. We always have to take Brook to the child psychopharmacology clinic even though he doesn't really participate. The Dr. evaluates how he is doing in part by observing his behavior at the appointment. For Brook, this is telling since he is much calmer and cooperative than he used to be a year ago before the Risperdal. The rest of the appointment is me and my dh discussing his behavior, development, our concerns, school issues, etc. But, Brook's presence is mandatory for these appointments. Of course, this is the Dr. that is prescribing Risperdal, so she needs to follow up with him. They also try to get a height and weight whenever possible, to keep tabs on the side effects, like weight gain or loss. Marisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Wow - there's a lot to print out there! Dana's enzymes site would probably be a good place to start, BUT... If you want an all inclusive package at what he's looking for and then some, I would just hand him a copy of the book: Biological Treatments for Autism and PDD, written by Shaw Ph.D., with contributions from Rimland, Semon, , Seroussi, and . There's a new revised 2002 edition and it covers the why's, the how's, the examples of cases, the studies, etc. It covers the GFCF diet, yeast, bile salts, heavy metals toxicity testing, supplements, and so on. I think it's fantastic and just what a doctor would be more prone to wanting to see. I would also go to the www.gfcfdiet.com site and there will be plenty to print out there. I would print out the explanation of the diet and why it's done and I would also print out some of the success stories that are bound to make an impact in understanding of just how much chaos one gluten filled cookie can cause for 3 days post-infraction! lol! Good luck! ~Christy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2003 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 Does anyone know of a good child psychiatrist in the Lubbock area? Ours refuses to accept our insurance anylonger. We've had to pay for each of the monthly visits out of our pocket and with meds and everything else, we just can't afford him anymore. My daughter does well with him since she has seen him for the past 3 years but on our salary, it's impossible. We used to only pay a co-pay but our fee more than tripled since this summer. If anyone out there knows of a good one who has good experience with autistic kids, let us know so I can see if they are on our network.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Corina, A friend uses Turnbow and is very happy with him. Dulaney at ESC-17 might be able to give you some more options. Her number is 792-4000.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Ilya sees Holly Berchin at Children's, & she is pretty good. However, I used to work children's services in Stark County & worked with Dr. DeLong on several occasions. She is absolutely wonderful! On the opposite note, Ilya went to Dr. Lee Reynolds (Canton) for a while. I liked the way he related to Ilya, but he was terrible to get a hold of & all but refused to forward her records when we switched to Children's. > > We've just started seeing dr fawzia toor at akron childrens, and we've also > worked with dr vicoria Delong,who works out of canton, theyre both females > as well > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [mailto: ] On Behalf > Of Colleen > Sent: Wednesday, December 06, 2006 6:18 PM > > Subject: [ ] Child Psychiatrist > > > > Is anyone currently seeing a child psychiatrist that they are happy > with?

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 We take to WIllougby (SP) to see Dr. McGee. We have been very happy with her. She has listened to us and helped us understand many issues. She has also wrote letters to the school to address areas of the IEP that we knew the school would fight about.
