| Neurologists |
|
Neurologists are medical doctors who have extensive
additional training in conditions and diseases of brain
function. In the area of learning disabilities, neurologists
may diagnose the problem, rule out other possibilities
such as Tourette's Syndrome or other conditions, prescribe
medication, and give any other treatment necessary.
Specific Questions:
- To what extent do you work with students who have
learning differences?
- What kinds of tests will you give my child to determine
your diagnosis?
- What percentage of your patients are referred to
you because of learning or school problems?
- How do you help children understand medications
they might need to take and the importance of consistency
in taking them?
- What importance do you place on what your patients
report regarding the way different medications make
them feel? Are you willing to explore alternatives
for them?
- What is your policy on follow-up on medication my
child may be taking?
- Do you have a call-in hour for parents' questions?
- Will you participate with other specialists and
the school in coordinating help for my child?
