[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 257937, member: 1161"] Hi :bigsmile: A good evaluation is a must with our kids, and Step gave you the advice I was thinking of. Get a referral to a neuropsychologist, or a multi-disciplinary evaluation. Children's hospitals are a good place to start. Just a couple things I wondered How old is your difficult child now? Who/how was he diagnosis'd originally? How was he in early years, development milestones at proper ages? How is he with peers, friends? Anything in the family history? What medications had he tried and how did they work? Any background you want to share could help with advice from our parents been there done that point of view. I found The Explosive Child a good help as well, and I think it's worth reading. Check out the FAQ/Board Help forum. There you can find other reading suggestions, explanations of the little abbreviations etc. used frequently on the board, how to do a signature as Step suggested. It also gives a suggestion on doing a Parent Report. This can be helpful with all the various appointments we end up going to for our difficult children. All the info you need is in one place for reference for docs, schools, etc etc etc. Welcome to the site. It's a good place to find the advice and ear to vent to you need. :flower: [/QUOTE]
