Re: Questions for Neurologist?

February 22, 2010

I would definitely ask for recommendations regarding school;

if he has to go to a psychologist recommended by the neurologist for

this, so be it. But they can be very specific, and the school has

to follow this. What I mean by re:school is what special needs does

he require to stay at the same level as the others?? My dr. wrote

down stuff like taking tests alone, for longer period of time,

etc. for an older child. I do not know what they would be for a

younger child. Also, what therapy does he need to be at his best?

He'd have to write the prescriptions for those. LJ
