[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 181135, member: 1233"] ForA neuropsychologist evaluation you will need to find a neuropsychologist. usually they are at major children's hospitals or university hospitals. I really think seeing a developmental pediatrician might help. Our dev pediatrician had a group of professionals evaluage my difficult child - this is standard in HIS practice, but not in all. You have to call around and ask - then ask if you need referral from pediatrician or not. I think a GOOD allergist might help - the natural forum will be able to help you find one I think. Esp with the food sensitivities, getting that all tested and sorted out will help. And that is one thing that CAN be grown out of, or so we are told. The thrill seeking is another side of sensory integration disorder or other sensory issues. Read The Out of Sync Child, and then get The Out of Sync Child Has Fun. The "fun" book has a LOT of activities to help with all sorts of sensory issues. An evaluation by a qualified Occupational Therapist is in order for the sensory issues. ODD is usually helped when you find the other disorders and treat those. I think if you work to straighten out the sensitivities to food and dyes and also work with an Occupational Therapist (OT) on the sensory stuff, you will get a LOT of answers and ways to help. Do NOT rely on the school Occupational Therapist (OT) to diagnose things. They ONLY look for what is impacting the child's education - NOT the other stuff going on. You NEED a private Occupational Therapist (OT) to get all the things looked at because there is a lot of other stuff you can do, and the school Occupational Therapist (OT) simply won't look for things that will impact home life. Especially ask about brushing therapy. You learn to do it at home and it helps the brain and body be in sync. It MUST be taught by an Occupational Therapist (OT), because you can really mess things up if you don't do it properly. Glad you are here, sorry you need us, but WELCOME! We are happy to have you join us! :flowers: [/QUOTE]
