[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 264047, member: 1991"] Have you got a detailed report from the Speecch Pathologist? Any records of his progress, especially progress reports showing how far he has come, should be shown to the psychologist he is seeing. I would also suggest you visit [url]www.childbrain.com[/url] and look for their online Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) questionnaire. You can't use it to diagnose because only an expert can do that, but you can do the survey anyway, print the results and take it to an expert for their opinioon,. It can help crystallise areas of concern for you. The problems you describe - it could be due to rebound (changing stims can help sometimes) or it could be a combination of the underlying disorder coupled with our usual technique of trying to use strictness and control to deal with difficult behaviours. With 'normal' kids, clamping down on control will give us more compliance; with a lot of difficult children, it causes an increase in explosive behaviour and the appearance of what looks like ODD. Either way, it's fixable. But not without some help and professional input. First - read "Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. It helps, in most cases. And no, we don't get royalties on purchases, although I wish we did, we recommend it so much! Second - stick around, help is here. At the very least, you can dump on us because we've been there.
