[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 381659, member: 1024"] Request an IEP evaluation from the school, especially after that letter. They should do a full evaluation, inlcuding a psychiatric exam. I have to say.....This is my opinion and not based on medical fact, but it is my belief that ODD is a symptom, not a diagnosis. That comment that she knew she was being disrespectrul smacks of ODD, I know. My feeling is that once she is stablized, the ODD will pretty much subside (rearing its ugly head occasionally, but not as much). Go with the IEP if you can. Formally request the IEP with your school district. Get an advocate if you have to. I consulted our local advocate over the phone and through email with no cost to me, but it's not a huge fee if they come to the evaluations, if needed. If she's really out of control, such as raging or hurting the other sibling or destroying things, call the local mobile response team. Find out who and where you have to call. I held off, for years, doing it because my husband worked for a police department and he was always fearful of chidren's service getting involved, but once I finally did it, I was extremely relieved to receive all kinds of services through the state that I don't even need to pay for (strapped for cash after this economy caused major pay cuts in our salaries). Anyway....find out what the services in your state is called. Some are called Caring Families, some are Value Options and such. There's a whole source of resources available to you if you go that route that are not available with traditional insurance. [/QUOTE]
