[QUOTE="totoro, post: 76288, member: 3155"] Jessica- Welcome Like you my daughter K has had a hard time getting help, I have heard the same thing before, well she is so smart and she adapts. Her IQ is in the top 2 and 5% for kids her age. Yikes! She has no developmental issues or learning issues as of yet... so services were hard to come by. I found the Neuro-psychiatric evaluation to be the best start for us, it really did point us in the right direction... he basically had her diagnosis correct from the start. She was diagnosis'd ODD in the beginning and now her psychiatrist3 has taken that off... whether that is because he has only seen her medicated or because her defiance is a part of her Bipolar? Who knows It doesn't really matter to me, because a diagnosis of ODD wouldn't really be the whole picture of my child, I didn't feel. She had a lot more going on. Maybe for some children, but not K. She was doing Occupational Therapist (OT) for her sensory issues and now she is doing Horse therapy for a lot of other issues. It is great. If someone tells you NO , find someone else... we have had to look high and low for good help... it is a long hard journey. Especially when your child doesn't fit what they feel a special needs child should look like!!! Keep asking questions we are here to help. [/QUOTE]
