[QUOTE="buddy, post: 570263, member: 12886"] I thought of ktllc too when I read your post, so glad she shared because I bet you two can relate a lot to eachother. I second all she said, and MWM too. So often short evaluations of our kids when they are young end up with the adhd "plus" kinds of diagnoses. Usually sensory integration, anxiety, ODD types of 'pluses'. For some kids there ends up being a host of other symptom types of diagnoses like these including auditory processing disorders, or motor planning or execution issues, and many others. For me (using my mom hat) I always felt both private and school therapies were good. Each had a focus and the more the merrier in my humble opinion. As an Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) I always encouraged that if parents were game. Some therapists felt there was no need, heck, they got therapy at school....those therapists were generally not parents, smile. Your kids are so blessed that you realized that you needed extra help while they are so young. They will probably do very well, but the road is so challenging and I dont know about how it is going for you but even with my obviously brain injured and autistic son people would make comments like "all kids do that" and I about wanted to kick them, haha. The difference as we all know here is the frequency, intensity, and the fact that typical parenting techniques just do not tend to work very well. You are among peers here. Even those of us with older kids now get it....sad to say but you don't forget! We still can relate!! [/QUOTE]
