[QUOTE="SRL, post: 317545, member: 701"] If you're thinking this might be what's up I also agree that you're going to need more professional evaluation than just a psychologists. Often what parents are reporting here is that they'll get attempts at behavioral help from a regular psychologist but that it's limited until you really get to the bottom of the issues. Unless you live in a larger metropolitan area it's pretty common to have to travel out for evaluations. Also, I should mention that if you do have insurance and it looks like a particular type of specialist isn't covered, sometimes your pediatrician can help you out by intervening. Have you talked with your pediatrician about addressing the hyperactivity? What we hear from parents whose children have ADHD as a core problem, is that they wish they would have trialed medications earlier because if it's severe, it gets in the way of functioning in a big way. You may want to research Sensory Processing Disorder. Some kids who are in constant motion do so because they are trying to meet unique sensory needs. If it rings a bell, check out the book "The Out of Sync Child" by Carol Kranowitz. [/QUOTE]
