Preparing for your paediatrician appointment
The more the better!
We welcome any information to better inform assessment planning and support. This includes school reports and observations as well as letters from allied health professionals.
A wait time for an appointment can be a helpful time to get some cogs turning. We always recommend an optometry and audiology review in the context of any developmental or learning concern. Booking in with the skilled local school counsellors for any assessments they can provide or recommend. Engaging my psychology colleagues for assessment and support is always fruitful particularly in the context of neurodevelopmental, emotional wellbeing and/or behavioural concerns. Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy and Physiotherapy have a very crucial role in assessment and therapy for a wide range of my patients, joining a waitlist is a positive step!
Please forward any reports or results prior to your consult.
