A bilingual psycho-educational evaluation of a child on arrival is difficult to overestimate. It can help avoid a lot of future problems for the child and the family. You can rule out learning disability in the native language (or confirm it) and measure the actual developmental and educational status of your child before the native language disappeared and the process of learning of the new language can interfere. Your child may become eligible for the additional (special education services) from the very beginning without waiting for years when the problems escalate and the child is acknowledged as having problems and can at last be tested in the English language. |

Child Predators: Waiting, Watching, and Engaging on Social Networking Sites
MySpace and other social networking sites offer thriving communities where young people engage in countless hours of banal chatter and photo sharing. Not coincidentally, these social networking sites also have become hangouts for child predators, child pornographers, and other cybercriminals.
Dr. Boris Gindis answers your questions:Q. I adopted a 3 year old who does not sleep. Do you have any publications on sleep for toddlers?A. You may consider consulting with a pediatrician at this point as psychological evaluation in many cases is less productive than medical until the child is 3.5-4 years old. If may very well be an adjustment issue, so try to avoid any over-stimulation, set up a routine for going to bed and stick to it.
