Call your insurance and find out who you can see. We were successful with a developmental pediatrician who accepted our insurance. Just be prepared for a long wait...

I called the insurance, they were less than helpful!
They couldn't even tell me which Dr's see kids, they offered to call each Dr and ask!
I don't have time anymore!
That's the problem!

Do your own research op it's easy enough to find developmental pediatricians in your area who take your insurance. It doesn't take that much times. The waiting list for those who take insurance is usually months.

That's the problem! | Let them call each one and do the work for you... You can research each name they give you afterwards. Its certainly worth a try.

Op can easily do this research herself on the internet.

The waiting lists for these doctors are months long. The day or two that it will take you to make calls won't really make a difference.
If you post your location, others may be able to chime in with recommendations.

I didn't ask where you live ...
every evaluation gets put on a waiting list ... because these type of doctors are always booked ... so you would wait months regardless & the board of education is your free right
why would anybody pay for something you can get for free

The waiting lists for doctors who take insurance and do evaluations also take many months. This is never an easy process.

Is there a lawyer you can consult with? The board of ed has a certain amount of days to conduct the eval and if they do not you are entitled to take your child for an independent eval and have board of ed cover the expense. Check with a lawyer about the rules in your county.
When my child needed special placement and the board of ed was taking forever to place my child, I contacted an educational attorney and was told this. I was able to place my child and the board of ed paid the tuition.
Lastly, is it possible to reach out to friends, neighbors, family, and ask for handouts?

Not sure if it varies but in NYS the board of ed has to complete an evaluation within 60 school days of your request. Find out if that is true where you live.
