Mom? What's a difficult child?
I was doing some research for a friend here and stumbled across this. Some of these I am sure are not for everyone.
But the lists are so concise that I had to post it. I use so much of the Autism therapies that I always bookmark things like this.This was from and Arizona link so I am looking into a few of the other things I found.
Unfortunately we still have few to no services for Mentally Ill kids. I try to sneak into the ones for ADHD and Autism. Once I explain they are usually good about it.
