KEEPING TRACK OF MY BUSY LIFE

This
section of the notebook will help you make the most of contacts with
health care professionals. Families express feelings of being stressed
when trying to assure that their child's medical and developmental
needs are being met. They frequently describe feelings of being rushed,
confused, or intimidated by health care professionals. Let us give
you some tools that can help you to take some control in these situations.
By planning ahead, anticipating what information the professionals
may need from you, as well as focusing on what information/concerns
you would like to be addressed during appointment or telephone contacts,
you will make this most of these opportunities. Remember, if there
are follow-up needs, be sure to clarify who is responsible for doing
what. The forms in this section will help you keep track of all the
important things that happen to your child. You can keep track of
questions that come up so you don't forget to ask them and record
important medical events on these forms.
