[QUOTE="klmno, post: 304247, member: 3699"] When you get into the morre intensive treatments, like in home therapy, is usually when you need the local public agencies to get involved- succh as DSS, Department of Juvenile Justice, etc, unless you can get something covered by him being adopted. Yes, I also heard that if my son had been on medicaid forever that he would have access to more mental health coverage than my private insurance would provide. As far as therapy itself, my son was like that until I found a younger male therapist who I talked with a couple of times before taking my son in. I explained to him that I thought my son needed to get a better attitude about tdocs before anything could be effective so they guy spent a coupple of months seeing difficult child weekly talking to him more like a buddy or mentor and it did help my son a lot as far as loosening up and getting to a point where he looked forward to going to the therapist because he could talk to him about "guy stuff" that I, as his mom, could never understand. LOL! There wasn't a lot of therapuetic gain but it was better than having to chase difficult child down and difficult child hating all tdocs. FWIW, many of the efforts to help difficult child's through behavior oriented therapy are not very effective and sometimes can make the kid worse. Ask the tdocc if they will do another type of therapy besides behavior modification. [/QUOTE]
