[QUOTE="Mama Raygun, post: 507821, member: 13907"] So I had an appointment. today for my 6th old to be started in the wrap around program. His therapist recommended it because she didn't feel weekly therapy was helping him. He would just play legos and when she tried to talk about anything serious he would just talk in circles and basically the only thing he got out of it was one on one playtime. So today he was evaluated by psychologist who agreed with the pdeiatrician's diagnosis of ADHD but also thinks he has some anxiety. It was heartbreaking to hear my son tell this man that he doesn't like himself :( I mean he's only 6 how can he feel such pain already! So basically with Wrap Around he will be assigned a therapist who will work w him 3 hrs/ week. He will come to our home and to my sons school instead of us going to him. Also I have an appointment. for him to be evaluated by a psychiatrist because I am uncomfortable w the medications being handled by a pediatrician that never sees him. I called her last week to say J was still having a lot of issue so she upped his medications. He's supposed to get 30mg of metadate cr once a day. Sat was the first day I gave him this higher dose and it was the first time he had a reaction.
