[QUOTE="SRL, post: 304653, member: 701"] Hi, welcome to our forum. I'm sorry things are so tough for you right now. A lot of moms here can relate. A few questions: 1) Have all the assessment bases been covered--neurologist visit plus MRI to rule out other problems, occupational therapy for sensory issues and motor skills, speech/language? 2) What is being done for him in terms of school, special services, and therapy? 3) What medication(s) is he on? Have other medications been tried? medications can actually make things worse for some children so it's important to get this part right. 4) Specifically could you give an example of what kind of event usually triggers the hitting tantrums? If the team of specialists you have now isn't helping him then it might be time to shop around for someone else. I'd suggest that you pick up a copy of the book The Explosive Child by Ross Greene and read the thread at the top of this board about adapting it to young children. [/QUOTE]
