[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 80758, member: 1550"] in my opinion you still need to see a neuropsychologist considering "uneven" develoopment (delayed and catches up--my son did that too--but, in the big picture, he stayed behind his peers). This child is too complicated for a behavior-oriented therapist and it doesn't sound like the issues are attachment oriented. But they could well be drug affected/alcohol affected related. Also, she could have autistic tendencies. Only a neuropsychologist or Developmental pediatrician (hopefully experienced with drug exposed children) could really see if that stuff is going on. And I do think he would do better in an early education setting for "at risk" children than a regular preschool. My son went to Headstart in the morning and Early Ed in the afternoon. He appeared to be on target in kindergarten, but that didn't last. I'd be very diligent with this child because of his in utero history and his birthparent's genetics. Lots can be going on and behavior therapy isn't really enough. Good luck again [img]:wink:[/img] [/QUOTE]
