[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 406064, member: 2423"] The rules of the board prevent us from providing specific names of doctors or facilities on the public forum. However, any member can PM (private message) you names. I would recommend checking with any children's or university teaching hospitals, although the waits may be long there as well. The reason we all keep pressing you to dig deeper is that most of us believe that ODD is not a stand-alone diagnosis. ODD is generally fueled by an underlying condition (anxiety, depression, autism spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder, etc). When the underlying condition is identified and treatment, the ODD behaviors typically subside and improve. Most good mental health providers do not specialize in ODD and will not simply diagnosis a child with ODD. There are no medications that treat ODD. The behavioral techniques that work best with a child with oppositional tendencies is to work [I]with[/I] him, not [I]against[/I] him. Many of us here recommend the Collaborative Problem Solving techniques of Dr. Ross Greene, which are described in his book [I]The Explosive Child[/I]. You can also check his website at [url]www.livesinthebalance.org[/url]. Welcome! [/QUOTE]
