[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 179952, member: 3907"] Hello Sandy and welcome! You've found a great place, full of support and information. First off, a few questions: 1) Who did your daughter's evaluation? GP, Paediatrician, psychiatrist, Neuro? Did they give you a reason to rule out ADD/ADHD? 2) How was your daughter's early development? You mention a speech delay. Did she have any other issues such as sensitivity to sounds or smells, aversions to certain food textures, etc.? 3) When she's behaving badly, have you noticed a pattern? For example, is the transition from one activity to the next (e.g. leaving school, from playtime to dinner time) a struggle? ODD rarely stands alone and is often the symptom of an underlying issue that hasn't been properly identified yet. ADD/ADHD is also one of the first diagnoses many of our children receive, because many conditions present with lookalike symptoms. I see you've put The Explosive Child on hold at the library. Many of the board members have found it to be incredibly helpful. Some other board members have had success with Love and Logic (I think the website is LoveAndLogic.org). If your daughter shows any signs of Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) (Sensory Integration Disorder), such as sensitivity to light, sounds, textures...trouble with clothing labels, sock seams, hair needing to be done a certain way, etc., then you might also want to look at The Out of Sync Child by Carol Kranowitz. You've found a soft place to land. Trinity [/QUOTE]
