[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 100845, member: 23"] There's a thread in the Special Education Archives on ODD in the classroom. The techniques addressed can be used in the home. There have been several threads on ODD in the last week or so. You might find some helpful or otherwise interesting information in them. ADHD medications can cause problems in a bipolar child. Best practices indicates the bipolar needs to be stabilized prior to introducing an ADHD medication. But some bipolar/ADHD kids can't take a stimulant period. If your child is taking an ADHD medication, you may want to discuss this issue with difficult child's psychiatrist, including whether the stimulant may be causing some of the ODD symptoms you are seeing. Kids with ADHD sometimes have co-existing conditions such as motor skill delays, sensory issues, learning disorders, etc. Because psychiatrists and psychologists aren't real good about picking up on problem areas outside their immediate area of expertise, I'm a big fan of multidisciplinary evaluations. You can learn more about MDEs on the FAQ/Board Help forum. Welcome aboard. [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
