[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 471001, member: 11847"] Until you wait for a thorough evaluation (neuropsychologist, pychiatic, etc...). Try to do 3 things: regular hearing test, speech evaluation and Occupational Therapist (OT). All those 3 are easier to schedule (in the US) and do give precious info. At the bare minimum they can rule out a lot. What you describe reminds me a lot of V. He was recently diagnosis with sensory processing disorder (SPD). His report shows EVERY single sense being affected (7 of them, it is a little different than the "regular" five senses). And that kind of diagnosis can look a lot like Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). V also has issues with motor skills and I was completly shoked by it! If your daughter was anything like that, it might explain why the morning routine is so tuff. Until you have some answer, I would try to lower my expectation. If you need to help her get dress, just do it. It is not worth meltdowns. If you have to repeat a hundred times, try to stay cool and remind yourself she truly does not hear or does not process the info. If issues are ruled out later on, it will always be possible to reajust your expectation. Try to give her warnings before transitioning. Such as, in 10 min, in 4, in 2min... You can also say things "3 more times: 1, 2, 3. ok now we need to go". It sounds stupid, but it does help. Also, try to stick with your new methods for a little while. It does not always work right away. And I agree with everyone, make things visual. This forum has helped me putting a visual schedule together and after about 10 days of trying to use it, V is finally accepting it and asking for it. Change takes time and patience. For the both of you! Have you explained to her why you guys seek professional help? If not, try to get her on bord. Maybe explain that you ove her very much, but there are a lot of yelling and conflict. You want the family to be more peaceful. Explain that to her when she is in "a good place". Welcome ! [/QUOTE]
