[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 61595, member: 3199"] We talked to our pediatrician first. He had us fill out a questionair and the teacher fill one out. Then he diagnosis ADHD and gave us medications to try. difficult child 1 has been to see many therapists since age 3, and they weren't able to diagnosis. Even the one he is with now (and I think is the best one so far) won't diagnosis. He'll send us to a psychiatrist (MD) to get the diagnosis. Therapists are necessary in my opinion to help the kids and family through everything that is going on, but they aren't great at diagnosis. At least the ones we saw. Maybe a pediatrician could help get the multidisiplainary evaluation started? I didn't go that route, so don't know how to get it started. [/QUOTE]
