[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 267206, member: 1550"] I would still do a neuropsychologist. Seems like you've mostly dealt with the county mental health services, schools, and a social worker. in my opinion they are not the best or brightest resources for any child. Schools are notoriously "Iffy" at who they hire, how they diagnose, and how much they help. NeuroPsychs do intensive testing for everything. ODD is not really a useful diagnosis--it means the child is defiant but it doesn't tell why. It's your call, but I'd have him on the waiting list (they are good so mostly have waiting lists) for a private NeuroPsychological evaluation to make sure no stone is left unturned. in my opinion therapy isn't enough and he hasn't gotten an intensive enough evaluation. Not all disorders use medication...all depends on what's the driving problem. Whatever you decide to do or not good, I wish you good luck. [/QUOTE]
