[QUOTE="buckeye, post: 128268, member: 4726"] Thanks Susie. The hugs and support are just what I needed today. We are in the Columbus area but would be willing to travel to Cincinnati if necessary. We started this journey a couple of years ago with the pediatrician. She referred us to a psychologist who referred us for a neuropsychy. Hours later and thousands of dollars later we received a diagnosis- lack of executive functioning and slight depression. They believed that this was what was causing the oppositional behavior. We then hired another psychologist who specializes in this area. We have been working with him for over a year on behavior modification but have seen little results. We were then referred to a psychiatrist to prescribe medications- trileptal and he has been on that ever since. He started middle school this year and we were given an aid and IEP so we thought we would have a better year. The IEP was supposed to address behavior and the lack of executive functioning. Before middle school he was defiant, never physical, never suspended, and had failing grades. Even though he has been suspended he still manages to maintain fairly good grades. The behaviors we are coping with include taunting his older sister, total lack of respect for privacy, lying, sometimes stealing from siblings and even taking things from my husband and I. He also argues a lot and often refuses to comply with our requests. What is a developmental pediatrician? Thanks for your help. [/QUOTE]
