Guestbook (not for questions)
Hi Jochem, I had promised to keep you updated. The other day I sent you an e-mail telling you that I had contacted psychologist Ms Scarlett Kooijmans from Schiedam. Well now; My son is 15 years old, and was diagnosed with ADHD by the Riagg six years ago. Nothing else was done. After six months, he went on Ritalin for the first time. My son was never explained how his head worked, and I was never told how to deal with him. With dire consequences. The medication only went up over time; and recently he started using Concerta. In high school, things go completely wrong. Grades are bad and communication with school is going nowhere. I was at my wit's end. After talking to the GP , we decided to have him tested again. But by whom? And then came your message about Ms Scarlett Kooijmans. And it turns out her institute is also in Schiedam with me. Even my GP didn't know her! I called her immediately, and because my son's situation is so serious, Ms Kooijmans has already spoken to us this week. Today, my son had his interview. What happened during the interview........ For the first time in six years, he was told how his brain works. What a relief for that boy. Next week, I will hear from her about how to proceed. She will contact school first. They will also look at his medication. Jochem, I can't tell you how grateful I am that you sent me this e-mail. Thanks to you, I finally have the right help for my child. I will keep you updated. Kind regards, Miranda de Koster.
Hi Jochem,

They are also going to look at his medication.
