[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 677978, member: 13260"] Oh boy. I feel like I know your little guy. And even down to the Kaiser child psychiatric services thing. They never did a real comprehensive evaluation, either, and when we asked about it, they were quite sure of the diagnosis from observations. I'm personally not sure about that, myself. The social skills group (huge bust) and the anxiety group (wasn't helping him and he making the other kids a nervous wreck) was useless, too, and that's about all they had to offer. I'm assuming he has an IEP at school? Because my grandson tests so high academically, they wouldn't give him anything more than 504 (kind of joke, those). Schools are reluctant to "label" a kid with emotional disturbance, but once Kaiser added on the anxiety disorder piece to the ADHD, it at least got him on an IEP and generated some other support services through our local mental health services through our county. Our Kaiser said that after awhile and so many visits, they said he needed to be referred out for more one-on-one talk therapy. I'm not sure if your Kaiser works that way, but they were adamant that he need an IEP and did send a letter to the school district. So, the people who are supposed to do that have yet to show up for one visit at this school, but we are on it. I'm assuming you've looked through here and found some of the books that many of has read and have helped us reframe and look through our kids with different lenses? Explosive Child, the Lost at School website, to name a couple that have helped us. It's so hard and I sure feel your pain. You've found a great place here. [/QUOTE]
