[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 110572, member: 1550"] Is he getting supports in school/community that specifically address his Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) issues? I have a son with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. He was pretty clueless at your son's age and is still clueless by the standards of others his age, BUT HE'S REALLY LEARNING. I can't tell you how much growth he has experienced. Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified is not a behavior problem, it's a neurological problem. The wiring within these people are different and they often DON'T get it. More than behavioral intervention they need life skills, social skills, often Occupational Therapist (OT), PT and Speech (because even if their speech is good, they often don't know how to express themselves or hold a give and take conversation). My son would have been a lost soul if he hadn't had that extra help with almost text book learning how "typical" people think. He is still different, but he's going to live a rich, full life, even if he needs a little support as an adult. I would focus on Autism interventions because that's what Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified is (atypical autism). Any child on the Spectrum in my opinion benefits more from interventions than therapy and behavioral mod. They don't have psychiatric problems. They are really different and need to learn things that others pick up just through watching others--and they need it spelled out for them. Did he get Early Intervention in school at three? What is he getting now? Hey, and welcome to the board [img]:wink:[/img] [/QUOTE]
