[QUOTE="jal, post: 369009, member: 3477"] My son is almost 8. We have been at this since he was 3. As we looked, they all wanted to deal with us, not the child. Which we were totally willing to do, but knew that he needed his own support too. We'd done the neuropsychologist (again he was young - around 4). We tried play therapy, which was a crock (for us) because he never engaged in it, but he was still so young. We tried family therapy sessions and one on one with another therapist. Now currently we have to see a therapist to get to the psychiatrist for scripts & that has been a load of hoey as the therapist does nothing with-difficult child (they just want a co-pay). The one thing that worked for us (not saying this is what you should do) was moving him to a therapeutic school (it was warranted - he couldn't handle reg. school) and getting intensive in home services through DCF voluntary (meaning WE asked them for help after our difficult child had his 1st and only hospitalization - due to a medwash being overseen by a psychiatrist). They gave us 2X's a week in home for 1.5 years until he graduated the program. Now that he's older he is learning from one on one therapy and group @ his school. He's mainstreaming and has made HUGE strides and it has finally clicked. We are finally at a point where we are enjoying our child and he is doing very well. So I would second to keep looking for a therapist that is willing to work with your child, not just you. [/QUOTE]
