[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 543369, member: 11847"] For anything you do, you are probably going to need your regular pediatrician's referral. I would suggest you talk to him/her first. When it comes to mental health, some are great (like ours) and some not so much. You want to be heard. Sure your daughter is sweet, smart, etc... but don't forget to highlight your concerns, don't censor. Be honest and open. Give plenty of examples. Then you should be referred to a neuro-psychiatric or devel. pediatrician. All depends on what is available in your area. Start taking notes, and look behind the behavior. At first, it does seem like the begavior is random. Over time, with practice and patience you will see patterns, reasons behind the madness. I would also suggest you schedule and Occupational Therapist (OT) and speech evaluation. For us, the Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation was very revealing and is probably the most successful therapy for V. You can go through the schoold district for a free evaluation, but I would recommend you do private evaluations as well. In our case, school was less than useful but private evaluation and therapy are helping. Welcome aboard ! [/QUOTE]
