[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 617511, member: 7170"] Wow you have done a great job getting him evaluated; it sounds like the psychologist knows their stuff too in my opinion. I would agree with most everything you posted here Occupational Therapist (OT) to work out sensory "diet". Explosive Child & Out of Sync child books would be top of reading list (my 2 favorites out of more then I could count). Initial medication trials are safer and quicker in a hospital setting because they can monitor & adjust as needed; outpatient lots can happen in those couple weeks between visits besides would take a long time because without a crystal ball they could only add one medication at a time. adjusting dosages would take forever The only thing I can think of that I would disagree with is the classification for school sp ed services therapist is suggesting, I would suggest OHI (other health impairment) classification rather then EI (emotional impairment) in the definition OHI specifically mentions adHd & Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Angel needed a self contained EI classroom but she was there on an OHI classification. The main difference is with EI teachers tend to think everything is behavioral, OHI kids still have behavior problems but there is a medical cause contributing to those behaviors. Sounds like got a lot of those answers were looking for... How do you feel about the evaluation that the therapist did? Nancy [/QUOTE]
