[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 349708, member: 84"] Welcome to the board. :happy: I'm so glad you found us. ODD is not what they think of as a stand alone diagnosis. It almost always tags along with something else such as a mood disorder, autism, ect. That you have your daughter, and by the way she is your daughter too, in treatment is a very good thing. But unfortunately there are no quick fixes, so prepare for a long haul. If you haven't read the book The Defiant Child by Ross Greene.....many parents here have found it very helpful. A little more background information would be of help. How does she do academically in school (maybe prior to this move)? How does she get along with teachers? Classmates? Does she tend to socialize well, or sort of stand off from peers? Did she meet her developmental milestones within the accepted guidelines? Did she have any speech delays? I'm sure others will be along with more, I just sort of hit the high lights. I myself have found an evaluation by a Neuropsychologist to be the best as it covers a much more broad area behavioral, mental, and neurological for testing and tends to pick up on things that are so often missed by the regular types of evaluations. It's a long evaluation that usually takes 2 6-8 hr days of testing to complete. Again welcome! Hugs [/QUOTE]
