[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 233370, member: 1550"] Rather than a Behavioral Specialist, I'd take him to a neuropsychologist for a new evaluation (they re very intensive). If he has a childhood disorder (neurological) or an emerging mental illness, it will be hard to make him follow a behaviorist. I'd want to know the real problems in detail before I went that route. The earlier you get to the root cause, the better it is for the child. Many of our kids started out with an ADHD/ODD diagnosis., but very often that wasn't right, and the diagnosis. turns out to be something else. Because it's so hard to rightly diagnosis. a very young 'un, the medications given can be wrong and maybe not even needed. We had the same experience with our son. He was on Ritalin at three. If I could go back in time, I would have waited until he was a bit older and had a better diagnosis...he is not ADHD, although it looked like it when he was very young. In hindsight, I'd be much more careful about trusting anyone who diagnosed my son before thoroughly evaluating him, and therapists don't do that. Only NeuroPsychs do and some hospitals that have MDE.
