Childrens Hospital Of Wisconsin

As another reviewer said, unfortunately my daughter also had to use the psychiatric services here. The school was concerned with some of her behaviors, such as inability to move from one activity to another calmly, problems concentrating in groups, and some anger issues (which she had demonstrated for years, but the pediatrician was waiting to see if she would outgrow them like many children do). Her father was/is ADD, so we wondered if she was, too. Most of the sessions were spent talking to ME, only 1 session out of 6 was spent with my daughter. All the school wanted was "to know what we're dealing with. If we know, we'll know what to do to handle it!" The psychologist wouldn't tell us because "she didn't want to label her". She ended up getting kicked out of school because they were unable to deal with her because they didn't know what they were dealing with. We switched to another psychologist, who spent 1 hour with me and 1 hour with her, tested her and said "Did the other psychologist do ANY testing? She's classic ADD!" and treated HER (not me!) with neurofeedback for many sessions. She's "a different kid" now!

Unfortunately my child has had to use the physciatric services here. In hospital stay.

I would not recommend them.

To us, it was just a motel. She received no help.
The staff was utterly useless.

They made no recommendations.
