"Ask Providers the Right Questions" - Summary by Dulce Gonzalez

     
    
In "Ask Providers the Right Questions,"  medical professionals recommend the best questions to ask in order to  get the most important information about the interventions your child will recieve.  Author Jayne Richardson believes that simply engaging in an intervention does not produce what the family needs. He goes on to give examples of what questions to ask in order to get a provider who is right for you. Before making a decision on the therapy you want your child in, you must first look up the website and see what other parents are saying. Also you should ask direct questions like “Which evidence-based interventions do you cover?” And,  “How experienced is the therapist in delivering these interventions?” Asking questions will help you get more sincere answers and a deeper look into the provider. Almost anything is convincing if you simply look at the overall idea. That is why you should do research and get the details. I feel that this is important to my paper because choosing an effective provider will give the results that are being sought out. Sometimes interventions like these can be expensive so it is important to be happy with the services and outcomes. This could severely affect my community profile subject. If we are careless in choosing the right therapist or providers not only will be wasting the time of our children but also the resources. Maybe that therapist will work for a different child. Ask how long should it be for you to see any kind of progress and observe to make sure that the progress is taking place. Make sure to ask what can be changed if the interventions are not working for your child.
