[QUOTE="nvts, post: 247665, member: 3814"] Hi! Dr. Riley, I have a general question (although I'd [I][U]love[/U][/I] to pick your brain regarding difficult child 1!). Our son has been in therapy since he's been 6 years old (he's now 10). I feel like [I]I'm[/I] the one constantly giving the different therapists insight as to what his triggers may be, but no one will give me a true analysis as to what's going on with him. Then you add the fact that all of them seem to treat him with the "you did this, and you can't because it's wrong" mentality, yet he's been doing the same behavioral things for years. The act as though he's doing things simply to get a rise out of people, yet no one will tell me that getting that rise is his intent. I've had mental health professionals refuse to acknowledge that sensory input could be partially to blame as well as truly traumatic events from his earlier school experiences. My question (finally!! lol): What type of therapy should I have him in? I just feel like I've been spinning my wheels with this kiddo for years to no avail! Let me make it very clear that I'm not a "not my kid" kind of mom. Trust me: my eyes are open to a lot of his shenanigans, but I just don't feel like we're getting anywhere with therapy. Thanks! Beth (sorry the message is so scrambled: totally sleep deprived right now!) me [/QUOTE]
