[QUOTE="jal, post: 161355, member: 3477"] Welcome Allie. Your son sounds like mine when he was 3. He was very defiant, would run out of his daycare building would turn his nose up at authority. My son also did not have any speech issues (actually had quite a vocabulary for 3), or learning disabilities. We started with an evaluation from a program called Birth to 3 which is run by the state (CT). They found that he did not qualify for services because there was no learning diability. We struggled on only to have him kicked out of daycare. He went to a home daycare after that but his behavior did not change. We had him allergy tested, observed by another organization but nobody could really see what we were seeing on a constant basis and what he was doing daily at the daycare. It go to the point where you would not want to pick him up so you did not have to hear how awful he was that day and what he did to whom. Around the age of 4 we moved him to preschool/daycare. We started with a psychologist who diagnosis as ADHD. We did try medications because we had to do something and we had been having a behaviorist coming into our home every other week for months and nothing was working. Well he cannot tolerate any sort of stimulant and he goes off the deep end with it. So that was out and he was kicked out of that preschool. He went on to another and limped through for a while. Towards the end of last summer he was back to being a flight risk and was out of there for a while. I lost my job in the fall due to a lot of this (missing work, working half days so I could care for him after he started kindergarten). He is now 3 weeks shy of the end of his first year at school and he has services and plans in place to assist him and he has made so much progress, it is amazing. He goes to kindergarten 1/2 day and daycare the rest. I haven't had a call from either. Not to say that everything is perfect, there are still issues, but it has improved. Stay strong and know you are not alone and there is some light at the end of the tunnel. [/QUOTE]
