[QUOTE="SRL, post: 5823, member: 701"] totoro, I got to the point with my difficult child that because of his rigid nature, his Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), and his ODD that most of the time I didn't even tell him he was taking something. The Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) especially was a biggie because anything new was a total assault to his system. I just mixed it in with whatever food or beverage would cover it best. Honestly given his limited diet that was usually a sweet chocolatey snack because it's a strong mask--small milkshakes worked well--chocolate or mint chocolate. When I was really desperate was when I had to give him Celexa and there wasn't a children's formula--I checked with the pharmacist to see if it was crushable and it was so I crushed it and sprinkled it in the frosting of an Oreo cookie. I also found it helpful to rotate what I was mixing it into. Sometimes an incentive program such as a chart would get us through. There are advantages of course to getting a kid to cooperate but we had so many issues we were dealing with that I put this on the backburner and gave him time for his issues to settle out. Now that he's calm most of the time I can get him to cooperate for me but I chose not to fight it in the early days. [/QUOTE]
