[QUOTE="Glad, post: 134751, member: 4843"] She did have an IEP, started when she was in school sponsered playgroup two years ago. The kicked her off in January because she "did not need it" Since then she has been getting progressively worse. Developmentaly she was/is above all the milestones and tests. She is in kindergarden but doing 1 grade math and reading. Peers, she is definately bossy. She seems to get along with other kids fine, but sometimes gets ignored because she is so pushy. Her teachers and the school have nothing but glowing remarks on how great she is. Her teacher has noticed more bad behavior in the last few weeks, he has had to pull her out of P.E. and recess on a few occasions. She is ok with her brothers, bouncing between being nice to them and being pushy and grumpy. It is me that she is an absolute hellion. Natalie has had an entire workup. I have filled out pages and pages of evaluation forms, her preschool teachers too. At the request of the behavioral dr. she had a complet psychological exam done. They confirmed ADHD with the emphasis on the hyperactivity part. They also stated she had major control issues and when she is in a situation that is beyond her control she gets extremely anxious. I was also told she has oppositional defiance disorder, but I have no idea what that even means. I can't remember if there was anything else. As for treatment, I have tried diet, behavior modification, counsoling and laying strict groundrules. The behaviorist does not believe that medication is necessary at this time. I have no idea what her counsoler was doing with her because I was not allowed in the room. We would start the session together while I explained what had happened the previous week, then I would have to leave. They would come out of the room with drawn pictures, and the counsoler would tell me when to bring her back. [/QUOTE]
