Observations
Our psychologist recommended that we use the Keywell app to track our observations. They felt that they needed more information to provide my daughter with more accurate treatment.Approach
I blocked out 5 minutes every day after the kids went to bed to record what happened that day. I then sent the psychologist an extract every week so that we could discuss everything in our fortnightly sessions.Outcome
Once I got into a routine it was easy to get it done. I found that it was really helpful to reflect on everything that happened during the day, something I hadn’t done before. After a couple of months, both the psychologist and I started to notice that there were things going on that could be more than anxiety. Many of the issues were related to food and social interactions, which I had never picked out before. The psychologist did the ADOS test and my daughter was diagnosed with ASD level 2. Everything related to her anxiety made so much more sense!
