[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 195265, member: 1550"] This is JMO. I don't know anything about that program, but if you can't handle your child and the current Psychologist isn't helping (Psychologists are usually NOT good diagnosticians) then I'd get neuropsychologist evaluation before I'd spend that much time and money flying somewhere for a seminar that may not even work. Most of our kids are "different" and have disorders and need up close and personal care. I would be leery of going somewhere to a seminar and expect that to solve my problems. Are you convinced that the ADHD diagnosis. is a correct one? Do you think maybe more is going on? What are you concerned about, behavior-wise? Anything in your family background on either side. ADHD/ODD often turns out to be a mood disorder. You have one and it is common for kids to inherit them. ADHD medications, like Adderall and even Straterra, will make a child with a mood disorder even worse, more violent, more defiant. Mood disordered kids are VERY defiant, but can also be very sweet at times--like two different kids. When they are unstable, they rage at the drop of a hat and can even hit us and say hateful things. They say them and do them because they are ill. I would look beyond this Psychologist and get the full evaluation from a neuropsychologist. [/QUOTE]
