[QUOTE="SRL, post: 188925, member: 701"] If she's almost 4 I'd really like to see you have a more thorough evaluation done on her. The more accurate info you can gather now, the more able you will be to help her. Parents here usually report better results for the younger ones with a developmental pediatrician or a pediatric neuropsychologist, or an Autism Clinic if there's one in your region. I'd also suggest audiology, speech/language, and occuptational therapy to check motor skills and sensory integration. Make and appointment with your pediatrician--they often suggest a first appointment with someone to help with behavior and most parents need more than what a therapist can offer at this stage. My second suggestion is to call your local public school district to request an evaluation to see if she qualifies for early intervention preschool. Even very bright children can find good help in the struggle areas through this route. Evaluations and preschool are free. Follow up the phone call with a certified letter because it's the written request that sets legal timelines into motion. Please pick up a copy of The Explosive Child (see link at the right) and check out our thread at the top of this board. [/QUOTE]
