[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 601243, member: 11791"] Has he ever had a comprehensive evaluation? the kind that take several hours of testing? I'm just another parent, but... it sounds to me like there are at least three potential issues just from your last post, and possibly more. 1) sensory issues... are often a cause of behavior issues. More importantly, they are often part of a larger diagnosis, such as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). An Occupational Therapist (OT) can do an evaluation for sensory and motor skills issues, AND has therapies, interventions, and accommodations that will help. Plus, an Occupational Therapist (OT) report is usually of value to a comprehensive evaluator. 2) Constantly sick for the first year... NOT your fault, but kids who are sick a lot in the early years often end up with "insecure attachment". That would be added to by the variety of caregivers over those first three years of his life... Attachment disorders are a spectrum - not just one extreme. The less extreme attachment disorders can be helped, but not by your typical behavioural therapist. Attachment needs to be built, and it isn't too late to make a significant difference. 3) possibly some brain damage due to the medical issues? Just some ideas to toss out there... [/QUOTE]
