[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 50091, member: 1514"] Ok let me see if I can help at all. What kind of health insurance do you have? If your son gets medicaid most states have a program for some sort of intensive family intervention services with his diagnosis. Call either Social Services or County Mental Health and ask to speak to someone. I dont know what it would be called in your town but here it would be something like community based services or in home services or multisystem...something like that. A child who has a serious mental health diagnosis is eligible for serious services. They are out there to keep them from morphing into problems as adults. If all else fails contact the juvenile services dept at the court house and ask them refer you to someone who can help you. Someone can point you in the right direction. No one wants to see your 9 year old end up as a 15 year old in the system when they may be able to help him now. They can provide wrap around services which will provide an aide to accompany him during the day, parent training, therapy, social skills classes, medication management, and a host of other things. You just need to find out how to access this. Bug people to you tap into this. [/QUOTE]
