[QUOTE="SRL, post: 132676, member: 701"] Hi Jamie, Welcome to our boards. If your board name contains your real last name we ask that you change adjust that for the sake of your son's privacy. If you need help with that, please let us know. If you aren't feeling like it's time for your son to start on medications, then don't. You may want to try some different strategies first such as behavioral and dietary. In the end if you wind up going that route you'll feel more comfortable because you've tried other routes first and you'll have talked with other parents to learn their experiences. So set that script aside and dry up your tears and dig in because you have some research to do. You are welcome to post on this General forum but we do have a board called Early Childhood. There's a thread about adapting the book The Explosive Child by Ross Greene for younger children. The Explosive Child is one of our favorite books around here so I recommend you pick up a copy. If your son is 3 and you live in the US, you can get him evaluated for special education preschool. This is an excellent time to have that evaluation to get that lined up for fall if he does qualify. You will need to write a letter to the director of special education of your local public school district. Request a full and complete evaluation. and send it certified mail. Can you tell us what you mean by Occupational Therapist (OT) making him worse? Does he come out of the sessions worked up, sensory issues getting worse instead of better over time, etc? Are there any other issues outside of ADHD and Sensory that you are seeing in him? Any speech delays or differences? Does he sleep well? Does he line up toys or other household objects? What's the family mental health picture look like? Any bipolar, depression, anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), etc? Again, welcome and hang in there. You'll find some help here. [/QUOTE]
