[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 145364, member: 3930"] Ok, thanks everyone. I am on a hunt now for a psychiatrist. There are only 8 listed in my city and 2 in the neighboring city. I will start making calls. When I last went down the path of trying to have a neuropsychologist evaluation done, they would not do it until he was evaluated by the school and then only after that if we didn't agree with the sd evaluation. He was evaluated by the Occupational Therapist (OT) person at school using the BOT-2. He fell within the avg range compared to typically developing kids his age. Teacher and I also completed a Sensory Profile questionnaire. They stated auditory processing, oral sensory processing, and visual distractibility were areas he had the most difficulty with. He would benefit from sensory breaks - like movement, heavy work, use of a quiet space. No delays in fine or gross motor skills. Occupational Therapist (OT) person thought he was a sensory seeker. We bought him a trampoline so he could get some of that movement and energy out. dcwsaranac, I would love to see your behavior plan to help get some ideas. Thank you for offering. Metadate is similar to Focalin which we tried first. I am not familiar with Buspar but see it is an anti-anxiety medication. I think something like that may help him. Everyone has mentioned his issues at school seem to stem from anxiety (from not being in control, transitions, etc.) Thanks again everyone. I won't give up... I just needed to get my thoughts out there and organized in my own head and as always your input and suggestions help tremendously. Have a great & peaceful weekend! [/QUOTE]
