[QUOTE="klmno, post: 378945, member: 3699"] Who did the testing? I think he needs a psychiatrist (psychiatrist) instead of a GP and someone besides the sd (school) testing him. Insurance will pay for a psychiatrist and parts of neuropsychologist testing usually. In your case, if you can't afford to pay for full neuropsychologist testing, which can be very expensive, you might still be better off getting the parts done that insurance will cover. But you definitely need more specialization involved than the sd, a gp, and a typical therapist (therapist). They just won't be equipped to deal with this. You might also start asking some questions to find out if therapuetic foster care is a valid option in your area. I am not familiar with how much it might help but at his age, I think I would want to weigh all options prior to sending him to an Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Maybe if you go thru your local jurisdiction's mental health agency it could lead to wrap around services and further options. [/QUOTE]
