[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 95317, member: 1550"] OK, I'm a long time Warrior Mom who had a LOT of trouble getting her son diagnosed. And if you don't get the right diagnosis., you can't help him. in my opinion juvy hall won't help him--he's still so young. 1/Who diagnosed him and what did they say he had? 2/Has he tried medications? Any mood stabilizers? 3/Are there are psychiatric or substance abuse problems on either side of his family tree? 4/Did he have any delays--speech, poor eye contact, disinterest in peers, plays inappropriately with peers? I would call a Childrens or University Hospital and have a neuropsychologist assessment. in my opinion, NeuroPsychs do the far best assessments and can give you a good idea of why your child behaves like he does and suggestions on what to do for him. in my opinion your child also should be in Special Education so he can go to school. Do you have an IEP? I would be more concerned about the neuropsychologist evaluation. I'd make the appointment, then demand to get services at school for your son--but I do NOT recommend letting the school be the ones who diagnose him. In general, schools do a very poor job of that. Ya get what ya pay for, etc. plus many times they have an agenda. The more they find, the more they have to pay. [/QUOTE]
