Today - First appointment with Dr Dassel
We finally met with Dr Dassel today, the pediatrician who specializes in kids with ADHD. Firstly what a wonderful man, kind of like the sweet old grandpa who loves kids. He has specialized in this field for over 40yrs and you can tell he still loves what he does. He really enjoyed chatting with Harry and was full of smiles and compliments for him. He said to Harry "you're a smart one aren't you?" Harry slightly blushed, very cute.
The purpose of our appointment today was to have a medical opinion and diagnosis of what Harry has. He is positive Harry has ADHD but can not 100% say that until the final stage of the diagnostic procedure is completed. This is a survey that needs to be completed by Dave, myself, his teachers and Master Chung. Once those come back he will be able to confirm the diagnosis.
He suggested 3 different styles of treatment:
- Behavior Therapy
- Non stimulant Therapy
- Stimulant Therapy
It feels so amazingly wonderful having a direction and a team of dedicated professionals in his life.
