Hello all. I'm new here, of course its only been 2 hours since we got back from the psychologists office and i'm already all over the internet try'n to find info. My daughter is 5, she's had a speech delay since she was 18 months and has been in the daughter preschool for two years now, starting Kinder this coming up school year. We were referred the DR because Paige doesn't always want to do what she's told. And sometimes throws a fit if something upsets her too much. She's never been violent or tried to hurt people or animals. The DR said she might have ODD. He's gonna go over the behavoiral assesment i did today and when we have our IEP meeting he'll let us know exactly what he thinks. I've been reading some of the other posts and i just keep thinking i feel awful that some of the parents on here are dealing with really horrible stuff their kids do, and the worst my daughter does is yell for a minute and refuse to paint (example from school) I just always felt she was really opinionated and stubborn. Has been since she could walk (at 7 months) she's was a very easy baby. I'm of course going to wait to talk to the doctor, and have already told him if he thinks its needed i'll do the parenting help classes he does here on base. And of course on top of all this, we found out yesterday morning, my husband is deploying in two weeks, for 6 months. Any advice or just a quick comment would really help me out here.
