I recommend shriners hospitals for crippled children. They are good, and free. They have helped me in the past.\n\n I believe there is one in tampa.\n\nYes she needs evaluated but you dont know what it is yet. a problem with the growthplate, hip dysplasia, who knows. \n\n\nI dont see why you need a good lawyer unless the doctor did something to cause this problem or make it worse

Specialists who are able to treat ADHD and ADD include child\npsychiatrists and psychologists, developmental/behavioral\npediatricians, or behavioral neurologists and clinical social workers.\nIf medication is needed, then the best professional would be a\npsychiatrist, pediatrician or neurologists. Psychologists and social\nworkers are unable to prescribe medication, although some work in\nconjunction with professionals that can.\n\n“The family can start by talking with the child's pediatrician or\ntheir family doctor. Some pediatricians may do the assessment\nthemselves, but often they refer the family to an appropriate mental\nhealth specialist they know and trust. In addition, state and local\nagencies that serve families and children, as well as some of the\nvolunteer organizations listed at the end of this document, can help\nidentify appropriate specialists.”\n\nSpecialtyCan Diagnose ADHDCan prescribe medication, if\nneededProvides counseling or training\nPsychiatristsyesyesyes\nPsychologistsyesnoyes\nPediatricians or Family Physiciansyesyesno\nNeurologistsyesyesno\nClinical Social workersyesnoyes\n\n\n\n“There are several types of specialists qualified to diagnose and\ntreat ADHD. Child psychiatrists are doctors who specialize in\ndiagnosing and treating childhood mental and behavioral disorders. A\npsychiatrist can provide therapy and prescribe any needed medications.\nChild psychologists are also qualified to diagnose and treat ADHD.\nThey can provide therapy for the child and help the family develop\nways to deal with the disorder. But psychologists are not medical\ndoctors and must rely on the child's physician to do medical exams and\nprescribe medication. Neurologists, doctors who work with disorders of\nthe brain and nervous system, can also diagnose ADHD and prescribe\nmedicines. But unlike psychiatrists and psychologists, neurologists\nusually do not provide therapy for the emotional aspects of the\ndisorder.”\nhttp://www.nimh.nih.gov/publicat/adhd.cfm#diag\n\nChoosing a doctor\n==================\n“One of the most important decisions parents make is which doctor to\nchoose for their child. This doctor will have a long relationship with\nand a lasting impact on your child and your family. It is important to\nchoose a doctor you feel comfortable with — someone you can trust when\nit comes to your child's health.”\nhttp://www.choa.org/default.aspx?id=545\n\n\n\n\nEmory Child and Adolescent Psychiatric \n========================================\n”Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston has Child and Adolescent\nPsychiatric Fellows.

Well, you'd have to go to medical school, then do a pediatric residency and then a neonatalogy fellowship.

The child should be treated by a pediatric oncologist, pediatric team, in a children's hospital.\nThey are your best guide through the cancer maze as your question is vague. Your doctor should be able to give you advice and various treatment options on what steps to take.\n\nGood luck.

Check out http://www.developmentalpathways.com/index.html Developmental Pathways for Kids (DPK) partners with a private mainstream school, the students of which are used as "expert players" and paired with atypically developing kids.  A DPK therapist monitors the interaction, but tries to intervene as little as possible.  The "expert players" are given some training as to how to draw in the atypical kids into play.

Rankings are always changing, but the Children's Medical Center in DC is outstanding.  It consistently ranks #1 or #2 in several areas.  When our son was 18 months old, he needed surgery and the staff and doctors took great care of him.  The anesthesiologist was a real pro, and the nurses were the best.\n\nThe physical medicine and physical therapy groups also were a tremendous help to us.  \n\nRankings vary depending on what service you nees - I think Shriners is better for onocology, for example.  But I know the national children's medical center is solid on everything, and ranked very high overall.
