[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 401797, member: 393"] PPRidge, I've read this thread with interest.... I'm surprised to the lengths that your SD is sticking their nose in places they do not belong. I don't believe that SWs at school or school tdocs have the wherewithal nor "permission" to make diagnosis nor treatment recommendations. I have never allowed the SD to "test" my tweedles other than for various school & academic related issues. AND I always have a 2nd opinion to give to SD. Saying all of the above, no, not all adopted children need attachment therapy. There are very specific criteria for the diagnosis of attachment disorder & the diagnosis is given after all else is ruled out. Unfortunately, attachment disorder can & does look like many other disorders out there including Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), Aspergers, etc, etc, etc. I've spent endless hours educating the educators on attachment disorder & PTSD; they only knew those diagnosis's because of the level of interference those disorders played out in the academic setting & because kt & wm were interfering with the education of others in their classrooms.
