[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 61262, member: 1550"] I think the place you've been referred to sounds GREAT!!!!!!!!! Yes, it's what I meant! ODD rarely stands alone as a diagnosis., as stated by Dr. Chandler in "The Chandler Papers." In fact, I'd say most of our kids have ODD behavior. "1,2,3 Magic" is worth a try--it did nothing for my son; he threw his time out chair...lol. Later we found out (after many attempts at figuring him out) was on the autism spectrum, albeit high functioning. He also had Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), which is often part of the Spectrum--sensitivity to fabric, sound, light, change, etc. He's had a lot of interventions and is better now. Those early interventions can REALLY help, far more than a regular pre-school, in my opinion. My son went a half day to "Child-At-Risk" preschool and a half a day at Headstart. The benefits were unbelievable. He also, before that had had speech therapy, Occupational Therapist (OT), PT and social skills. He's had accomodations in school all along. And we've had many evaluations before, until he turned 11, nothing they said seemed "right." Still, we never stopped the interventions. Most really good evaluators have LONG waiting lists. I think the wait is worth it. In the meantime, see the counselor, try the ideas, read "The Explosive Child" and do what you can. We had to wait a long time too. That probably means it's a good place to go. [/QUOTE]
