[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 35541, member: 393"] chicaroo, It's a good idea to explore further evaluations & to verify that medications are not contributing to or making matters worse. I'd like to offer that my tweedles went through many diagnosis's & evaluations on an annual basis. We didn't get a true picture (therefore a clear treatment plan) until ages 10 & over. The evaluations addressed concerns; those same concerns dropped off the map while others were added the following year. It's difficult,at best, to find a clear diagnosis for our difficult children. Add into the picture a complex hx in the bio home - presenting symptoms, behaviors, diagnosis's & such become more blurred. This is going to take time, patience & lots of respite (if you can get it!). Medications are always a crap shoot. If the medications works for your difficult child use it - if it doesn't let psychiatrist know. There can be concerns over the use of certain medications for children - it comes down to what works for your child. As to the all day behaviorial room - I'd go for it, if difficult child needs it to be successful/functional in the academic setting. There are many children here who can handle the mainstream setting with supports & interventions - there are others who need the small contained setting to succeed. [/QUOTE]
