[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 747676, member: 18958"] I'm unable to comment upon diagnoses but I believe you are making the right move to get her a neuropsychological exam, preferably at the Child Development Center of a major Children's hospital or University Medical School. When you have the report you will be in a good position to request an emergency IEP at school. If your daughter has issues that are qualifying for special education status (she does) the school is responsible to pay for whatever it costs to educate her in the setting she requires, and to transport her there. *(The school district would be responsible to cover a good portion of the costs, I believe. Your insurance should pay the rest.I don't know where you live but it sounds like your daughter has either a developmental disorder or mental illness, and treatment for both of these should be covered by your health insurance, including residential treatment. I would take her to a Children's Hospital, if you can. And to see a pediatric neurologist, too, to rule out neurological causation, too. Is there a history that you know about either in your family or her father's of these kinds of behaviors or sensory issues? I would not rule out some kind of genetic influence. Genetic testing should be available through your insurance. A good doctor will leave no stone unturned. This is why I would consider going to a regional Children's hospital or University medical school or both. These are the people who have the training and experience to ferret out correct diagnoses so that she and you will be helped. Maybe your insurance, once she is diagnosed properly, will pay for a behavioral specialist to train you to deal with her outbursts and her behavioral issues by behavioral modification methods. Maybe there would be funding for respite. The key here is to get her diagnosed so that you know what you're dealing with and can access services. I am very sorry it's so hard, and that this has been going on so long. Welcome. [/QUOTE]
