The issue in this certified appeal is whether a trial court has the discretion, under State v. Jarzbek, 204 Conn. 683, 529 A.2d 1245 (1987), cert. denied, 484 U.S. 1061, 188 S. Ct. 1017, 98 L. Ed. 2d 982 (1988), and General Statutes § 54-86g,1 to order that a child witness *825be examined by an expert witness for the defense before deciding whether to grant the state’s motion for videotaped testimony pursuant to § 54-86g (a). We conclude that the trial court has the discretion to order such an examination and that the trial court in this case properly exercised that discretion.
