[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 541282, member: 11791"] The magic wand? Well, not in 5 minutes. The only thing that worked for us was... something like a dozen assessements, starting in grade 1. It wasn't until we had a really solid handle on EVERY SINGLE diagnosis that we began to make progress. And yes... that includes dxes that were flagged by Occupational Therapist (OT) and flagged by Speech Language Pathologist (SLP)... (which is why I bring them up). Another thing to research - this one blew me away at first - is "male depression". It isn't always what we think it is... so often, it shows up as "anger". If you're seeing some traits of depression anyway, and then anger on top of it... maybe it's all part of the depression? We found it helped to do assessments that were long shots - to rule stuff out. And for the most part, it worked. (failed on one because they ruled out when in fact it was there... they didn't have the right test!) [/QUOTE]
