Re: Houston Developmental Pediatricians!

[Guest guest]

I've found that Texas Children's (the Learning Support Center) isn't really

the greatest at calling you back and telling you when they need to receive

additional information. I just went through the same thing with them in

their Speech, Language, and Learning department. You have (at least for all

the services that we've needed from them) to have a referral form filled out

and signed (even though there is no place on the form asking for a

signature). You can call them and ask for a referral form to be faxed to

your current pediatrician. Then I call both parties to be sure they are

doing their respective parts and then follow up with Texas Children's to be

sure that everything's in place. Then they actually let you make an

appointment! Yea! The great thing is that we have met amazing doctors

there who really take their time and know how to relate to the kids. Also,

FYI, it only took about 3 months for my son to be seen. That was in Dec for

an eval and we go for testing next week. Then we have the speech eval in

March.

Hope this helps.

Hello! Im not sure if I have ever even posted here but I really need

some help. Can someone please tell me if there is any where else

besides Texas Childrenst that has a developmental pediatrician. I am

asking this because I filled paper work out and I know they have

recived it in Sept 2004 and I still have not heard anything back. I am

still on a waiting list for an appt. I really would like to get my son

diagnosed as soon as possible. I have been fighting all of these

people for over a year now and I would like to really get things on

the road. Thanks in Advance Everyone I really appreciate it.

,

A developmental pediatrician is not the only one that can diagnose your

child. You can also get a diagnosis with a child psychologist.

I don't live in the Houston area, so I don't know of anyone to recommend

either way. Sorry!

We used Robin Reamer a few years back. I really liked the way she was patient

and how she interacted with my son. She coud tell he had given his all one day

and simply suggested that they play a bit and gave him many needed breaks and we

came back another day. She built a rapport with him first which was just what he

needed. She was located near Rice Village in West University at that time.

This is the person that diagnosed us, call them and see if they are under your

insurance. They give your child a test, its almost an all day thing, and they

tell you what exactly is going on and what direction you need to go. Good luck.

I wanted to tell you all thank you for the suggestions I really

appreciate it!! My son is already recieving OT and ST twice a week

from a private facility. I have taken him to the Learning Support

Center at Texas Childrens, they gave me a packet to fill out for

another place that could get me in faster but, I have not heard

anything back from them either. I have an Appt. on May 16 with UTMB

for a pediatric neurologist but I would like it to be sooner then

that. I havent even heard anything from UTMB since I made the appt.

so I have no idea what is going on. I am very confused as I am sure

all of you were when you were trying to get a diagnosis, I just

think that it is rediculous that I am having to wait so long for a

diagnosis. Thanks once again I really appreciate it.
