Who to See (Specialists, Therapists)

[Guest guest]

Hey all,

Hope everyone had a happy valentine's!

So, we have an appointment with a private SLP on March

3rd to evaluate him. As of now, we have no formal

diagnosis of anything. I fear the evaluation won't go

that great with the SLP b/c is very shy and

doesn't do well when random strangers try to berate

him with questions right off the bat. Any

suggestions/stories on that topic? We have been doing

early intervention for a few months now, with a case

worker coming weekly and we have just changed the IFSP

to include a monthly visit from an SLP. I'm not

convinced that's the right combination of therapy just

yet, but I love our case worker, and am not yet sure

about the SLP. Those of you that have experience with

early intervention, did your plan usually include OT

as well?

So, my other question is who else should we plan to

start seeing? A developmental pediatrician?

Pediatric neurologist? And does anyone have any

recommendations for the Fairfield County CT area? I

also can go into NYC for consults if it would be

irregularly. I know Dr. Agin is in NYC, but I was

kind of assuming she's not accepting new patients.

Anyone know? And does insurance usually pay for

those, or is that out of pocket?

On a good note, imitated the word " Mama " for

the first time ever, and just started trying to blow

(which I have been trying to get him to do forever!)

Both very exciting things!

Hope everyone's well!
