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.
