Re: Ask Dr. Gail -- Now Dr. Chansky!

[Guest guest]

Hi Jeannie, I did change it to Dr. Chansky and sent it on to her.

Dr. handles the school related questions. Dr. C the therapy and other

type. And Dr. Geller we ask medication related questions.

If you end up with school issues due to his OCD, feel free to ask Dr. . I

know we had to set up a plan for our son when OCD interfered so badly with

school.

Glad you found our group!
