Guest guest Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I took my son to see Dr. Capone a year ago. I was so excited about finally getting him an appointment and had high hopes. Now don't get me wrong, the research they do at the institute is wonderful. But I wasn't impressed with the initial consult. It was alot of questions for my husband and I. Not much interaction with at all. He did think he had PDD, and was quick to prescribe Resperidal, in a low dose. I was disappointed in this. I thought he would suggest other methods of modication. To be fair, he said the drug may help focus better so we can try other ways to help him learn. I'm not a big fan of drugs to help our kids, but thats my own opinion. So I was quite disappointed. I would suggest going to Cincinnati Children's Hospital...Down Syndrome Clinic. They were much more focused on the whole child. From Nutrician, to sleep habits, to ABA therapy. I was quite pleased with their approach. Good luck....Dolly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
