Category - Consultation

Which of the following would be the least trustworthy referral source for parents to use to arrange a psychological consultation for their child?

  2. Referral by the child’s physician.
  3. Online referral.
  4. A newspaper or television ad.
Explanation
Answer: D - The least trustworthy referral source for parents to use to arrange a psychological consultation for their child is a newspaper or television ad. The ad is carefully worded to attract parents’ interest and get them to call. The facility may or may not be a reputable accredited organization with qualified licensed psychologists and there may also be hard-sell tactics and hidden fees. Also, the caller would have no idea whether the actual services being offered there are consistent with the type of program that would be most beneficial for their child.
