[QUOTE="Dr. Douglas Riley, post: 247960, member: 6888"] Good evening. I'm going to try to respond briefly to some of the messages that I have not hit yet. aeroeng: You bet, sensory issues leave children with immense frustration. Either the world feels bad to them due to textures, tastes, or smells, or they can't get their bodies to do what they want them to do. A pediatric occupational therapist is invaluable in their treatment. Nomad: Didn't mean to confuse the issues. CBT works great with depression, although the research says that it can be hard for kids uner age 8 to use it because they cannot distinguish between thoughts and feelings. CBT, being a psychological intervention, cannot work on the food allergies. You have to either eliminate the offending foods, or get specialized shots. CBT can be useful with ADHD, but as we all know, nothing yet approaches the efficacy of stimulant medications (see my book, however, for very, very interesting findings on prompting). Each of the treatment types has issues that they work well with, and issues that they will not be successful with. You can't do too much Rogerian therapy, for example, with explosive children - doesnt' really work with them. nvts: Sorry to hear about those details. Try to talk to his teacher about doing some "social engineering." She should make an attempt to see that he is hanging out with appropriate kids.
