Guest guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Terry, I would call and ask what the appointment entails.. testing for example might be useful for school placement and for insurance coding. sl The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential, proprietary, and/or privileged material.

Date: Monday, March 16, 2009, 7:19 PM Hi Terry: Is there any other reason you wanted to go to the neurologist besides getting a diagnosis? You could call the neurologist office and see what else the appointment involves and that might help you make up your mind if it is necessary. Do you need any second opinions on anything you and your dev. ped discussed? My son's neurologist gave us the diagnosis and we had to go back 3 times (6 mos. periods) to make sure he was making progress before he was discharged. He didn't have a dev. ped though so at that time the the neuro ped. and his regular ped were the only two doctors he had. HTH, Tina mom to Landon > > Hello all, > > I am having a tough time deciding weather or not I should go to the Pedi Neuro appt. that I have for my son in April. The reason I am trying to decide is that we just recently met with Dr. Capoli in Geneva, he is a Developmental Pedi. We got the exact diagnosis of Apraxia as a neurological disorder and recommendations for speech therapy. > I also just found out that our insurance company is going to cover his speech therapy which means I don't have any fighting to do. > We will be doing an IEP in May sometime as he is phasing out of EI, but will have a 2 page summary about my son to add into that from Dr. Capoli. > So do I go to Madison and get a diagnosis that I all ready have or will they tell me something different? > > Any help is greatly appreciated. > > Thanks, > > Terry > Mom to Logan 5.5(normal as normal is), Gavin 2.5(apraxic and independant) > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
