On videos and data collection
Now ain't that the truth. It really is so helpful when one can show the doctor with whom one gets an appointment only after months of waiting, actual visuals of the behaviour one's child has been exhibiting in a form of videos and/or data collected on specific behaviours or concerns etc. instead of trying to grasp at on-the-spot random memories of your own observations. Parents have only about an hour and half to 2 hours tops with the doctor to present their case. It makes huge sense to make most effective use of the short time available to both sides by providing visuals and data collected over a period of time.
As well, what better way to bring ever changing teachers and EAs at school up to speed on concerns regarding the child.
