A Parents Guide To Doctors, Disabilities, And The Family
By: Renata Bursten, Dragonfly Staff
Finding a skilled and sympathetic doctor for a child who has a disability is both important and challenging. This guide from NICHCY helps parents learn all of the basics. Recommended for medical professionals as well.
This guide offers suggestions on how families with a child who may have a disability and/or special health care needs can find a primary health care provider or pedicatrician. Suggestions are included for those who use private physicians, public health clinics, or Indian Health Services. The document concludes with several lists of questions parents might want to ask--before the doctor sees their child, when scheduling an appointment, when the doctor has seen the child, about general checkups and development, medications, tests, referrals to specialists, surgery, and hospitalization.
