[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 658526, member: 805"] ravenlotus, welcome to the site! I understand that you are looking into ideas of what has worked for others, but our kids are so individual. The one thing we can agree on is that it takes more than medications to make a difference in our kids' lives. Medication is only one piece. Truly understand their diagnosis and then looking into support and interventions in the home, at school, etc. is a another piece. The saying, "It takes a village" is so true in the case of our difficult kids. You have time on your side. Your daughter is very young and early intervention is key. I am going to assume you are here in the states. You say "therapist" and I wonder if we are talking psychologist? Who diagnosed your daughter? What behavior modifications and medications have you tried? What about school - how does she do there? With the onset of summer, it's a great time to do some trials with medications and interventions. It's also a good time to start the IEP qualification process for her next school year. You might find the school has some good ideas and has an occupational therapist on staff that can help and there are proven accommodations and modifications in the classroom that can really help. We usually have a lot of questions when a poster first arrives here but I assure you we are a place of great support and information sharing. Glad to have you with us. Sharon [/QUOTE]
