An evaluation treatment matrix for parents of children with developmental disabilities, mental health and/or behavioral issues.
How do you tell what is good quality therapy for a child with a disability, mental illness, and/or behavior problems? This system is not perfect; however, it is based on extensive research and can be used as a GUIDE for evaluating treatment options as well as evaluating the quality of treatment being provided.
Medication is not needed for most children. If it is being prescribed, a children’s psychiatrist is recommenced if at all possible. If there is medication is there close collaboration between the therapist and the physician?
