[QUOTE="nvts, post: 451006, member: 3814"] The fact that every therapist, psychiatrist, school psychologist and pediatrician blanket labels almost every kid that doesn't show physical symptomology has "adhd and ODD" and almost misses ALL sensory issues doesn't help either. Truth be told most kids don't seem to have a workable diagnosis until at least 7 years of age. The parents are called bad parents, over-indulgent, the kids are called spoiled brats and are bounced from school to school to school and are labeled as emotionally disturbed. Valuable time, during the developmental years are being lost - when something could have been addressed at a much younger age. It's the fox running the henhouse - the vast majority of mental health professionals in my neck of the woods have become complacent - quite often the school personel that work with a lot of the kids are just as abusive as the children. It's a nightmare...it truly is. Beth [/QUOTE]
