The Parent List: A Hinsdale PTO supported resource for all
things behavioral, learning and mental health
UPDATE! The Parent List is in need of new reviews to remain current. The
resource hasn’t received any new reviews for 2026. Your input is completely
anonymous! Please help another parent by taking 2 minutes to submit a review
about a local provider who you had a positive experience with by clicking HERE
The Parent List contains first-hand reviews from local parents about area providers that
have helped positively address their child’s anxiety; depression; school avoidance;
eating disorders; insomnia; peer relations; dyslexia; ADD/ADHD; autism and
more. Much like “Angie’s List,” The Parent List is an online list of resources in our
community that have already been successfully used by another area parent whose
child has experienced mental health, learning or behavioral issues.
Did you know that young children experiencing mental health issues may present with
more subtle symptoms? For example, anxiety can show up as recurring stomach aches,
headaches, sleep disturbances, school refusal or other physical complaints. Children
experiencing depression may become easily irritated on a routine basis or have more
frequent bouts of crying/sadness.
