Whose Who?
It is important to know, whose who is the medical team, that can help you and your child. This is a continuation from the earlier article.
Always keep an open mind. Although, the professionals may know their job well, they may not know your child as well as you. That makes you a professional, where your child is concern. Be your child's advocate, speak for him. Have second opinions when needed, but my advice, follow your gut.
As I am a passionate mother, but am not working in the medical circle, I am furnishing you with details, I got from a great book. I stumbled upon this book recently, and it was truly a God sent.
Developmental Pediatrician (M.D.)
A pediatrician who has completed four years of medical school, two years in a pediatric residency program, and then an additional year in developmental-behavioral postgraduate training is a developmental pediatrician...
They are known best for looking at the "whole" child within the context of the family. They can provide guidance on development, eating, sleeping and behaving. These professionals are able to diagnose ADHD and learning disabilities and may be able to advocate for your child at the school level.
