[QUOTE="Martie, post: 73243, member: 284"] Hello, ODD is not often a "stand alone" diagnosis although infrequently, it is. The co-morbit problems may be depression (angy, irritable and drepressed kid) or ADHD (overactive, inattentive kids who may develop ODD as a way of "coping" with frustration, and Learning Disability (LD) in any combination, which lead to all of the above AND problems with learning in school. Children are diffiuclt to diagnosis and sometimes parents go through several attempts before they find a diagnosis and aTx provider that "fit" the problem and help the child and family. Many, but not all, parents on this site use techniques from the book, The Explosive Child by Ross Greene. If you have a child with ODD characteristics, in my opinion you definitely should order this book. It is helpful in managing not only the child, but also getting adults on the same page about what behaviors to deal with and what behaviors to ignore. Many people here seek and independent evaluation at a major medical center with a good child/adolescent psychiatric unit. These evaluations are comprehensive and cover the possibility of underlying medical conditions as well as neropsychological abd psychological issue, too. If your child is have problems making adequate progress in the general education curriculum for either academic or behavioral issues, you can ask the SD for a complete case study evaluation. Some of the areas evaluated will overlap with an independent evaluation, but the SD will focus more on performance in school and triggers for negative behaviors, etc. This site maintains a section that is devoted to helping parents try to protect their child's right to an appropriate eduction under law. It is called Special Education 101. If you go the school route, most people find that board to be helpful (and there is a lot of information in the Archives of Sp Ed 101 also.) The general board has many participants who can provide information and share their experiences in dealing with the types of problems you family is experiencing. I'm glad you found us but sorry you had to. Martie [img]:warrior:[/img] [img]:warrior:[/img] [img]:warrior:[/img] [/QUOTE]
