[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 6978, member: 1550"] I would say that it really depends on what is wrong, but, in my opinion, it's best to get a Multi-disciplinary Evaluation rather than see a therapist right off. A therapist is not an MD and is trained in "talk and behavioral therapy" which often is not enough to address the core problem. I would buy Ross Greene's "The Explosive Child" and use that method until you can get your child into a university or children's hospital for a MDE. There's a waiting list usually, but in my opinion it's better to see professionals who have a good rep and a waiting list than to see somebody you can get into seeing right off who is less credentialed in figuring out what is wrong. If the child has any delays in speech or otherwise, I'd also want to see a Developmental Pediatrician. [/QUOTE]
