[QUOTE="klmno, post: 261875, member: 3699"] Hello and Welcome!! I wouldn't put a lot of weight in that diagnosis (diagnosis). ODD rarely stands alone and I doubt if this is all that's going on with your daughter. First, I'd recommend reading The Explosive Child by Ross Greene. Then, I'd recommend getting neuropsychological testing done, privately, with a psychologist trained to do this. You can call a local teaching hospital or children's hospital or ask your pediatrician for a referral. How does she do in school- behavior and with academics? The school's evaluations are usually not thorough enough to nail down underlying problems, that is why I suggest private testing. Then, you might as well start asking around now to find a good therapist for your daughter and you and husband. Don't be shocked if you hear some of the professionals say or act like it's all your fault- that doesn't mean they are correct. The testing results should get to the root of the issues and should lead to an idea of a good treatment plan. There's a lot of wisdom here from others on the board. This is also a good place to ask questions like what to do when she's having a melt down over homework and stuff. The Watercooler is a good area to "talk" about other things and share a few laughs. Again, Welcome! [/QUOTE]
