What is a Parent Report?
As the parent of a child with a neurological disorder(s), it is your responsibility to assemble an expert team for your child’s overall care and education. In our personal journey seeking help for our child, we accumulated reports from various professionals within a relatively short period of time. We were dealing with comorbid conditions. It was startling to discover that there was no “one” professional who could put all the information together, outline a treatment plan, then coordinate and participate in implementing treatments. In retrospect, even if there was such a professional, a major component would be missing; that component being the person who truly “knows” the child — the parent. As a wise “Warrior Mom” once stated, “You’re the captain of the ship.” Whether your child has one or more disease or disorder, preparation of a Parent Report can prove beneficial in “pulling it all together.” Several other reasons and uses for a Parent Report are listed below.
