[QUOTE="nvts, post: 317842, member: 3814"] Hey Tcole! Welcome to the crowd! I'm usually of the opinion that ODD is a symptom of something else that causes kids to act the way they do. Granted, I don't have a degree in psychology, but what the heck! It's my opinion! :winking: Try and think back to his early development. Was he "icky" about stuff like itchy tags, the way things felt, sounded or looked? Did he become an authority on certain subjects? Are there any developmental disabilities within the family? How's his eye contact with people he doesn't know? As far as being on medicaid, she can really find some help. What she wants to do is have a neuropsychologist evaluation done. They can usually be performed at a Children's or Teaching Hospital. Tell her to be ready - there's usually a long waiting list! They'll test him completely and you'll get a better feel for what's going on. Now, as far as school goes - does he have an IEP? This is short for an "Individual Education Plan". There are all types of services and accomodations that can be built into this document. What has he been suspended for? If you don't mind posting what state you're in, I can help you search for an advocate that may be able to help you get what he needs. Keep posting and reading - it's a great goup of people here with lots and lots of experience! Beth [/QUOTE]
