My DS had his first of two appts. for the new evaluation we are having done at the U of MN. They had requested a copy of the previous Dx, but I didn't provide it- not yet at least.
I am really looking for some unbiased, thoughtful answers to some of my son's issues and I feel like if they read that old Dx as they begin this process, than by act of being a human being, they will have a tainted view of what is going on.
I know they are going to push me for this, but I sortof don't want to give it to them.
What do you think?
Re: I withheld my son's 1st DX to the current assessment team
I think I know where you're coming from. I think I might do the same thing if I had the opportunity to have someone look at DS for the 1st time. I don't know how they'd react if you simply just told them that you would prefer their opinion not be influenced in any way by a prior dx.
Sorry I'm not more helpful. Good luck!
That makes sense Auntie...
I should clarify, I did not provide the eval done two years ago by the psycologist, but I did include the school spec ed eval done last year- with all the IQ stuff, and various measure- including the OT assessment and the speech pathologist's stuff.
