[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 301317, member: 1233"] Welcome, Dad cubed. I am so glad you found us, and sorry you needed to look for us. Have you read "The Bipolar Child" by Dmitri Papalos? How about "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene, "Parenting with Love and Logic" by Fay and Kline? "The Out of Sync Child" by Kranowitz? "What Your Explosive Child is Trying to Tell You?" by Dr. Riley. These are ALL books you should at least skim. Many of them wouldbe an awesome investment in learning to help your daughter. Of course the library should have most of them that you can borrow or read at the library. Chances are you will want to look back over them periodically. The Bipolar Child, the out of sync child and the explosive child are the three that you really NEED. The out of sync child deals with Sensory Integration Disorder, meaning that the child does not process sensory input in the "normal" ways. Who diagnosed your daughter? Has she seen a neuropsychologist for in depth testing? A GOOD neuropsychologist will spend 6-10 hours over several days testing her. It is a way to get to really discover what is going on. If you look in the FAQ/Board Help section of this forum you will see a thread titled "Parent Input/Multidisciplinary Evaluation" It has a guideline that will help you get ALL the info about your difficult child in ONE place. I highly recommend doing this. You will have to do the report in sections - NOT all at one time. It will let you keep track of everything and be able to communicate specifics to teachers, doctors, therapists, etc... Do NOT give a copy of everything to the school. In MANY cases they will use at least part of the report against you. Or twist it to justify not giving him all the services he needs. Well, that was quite a book. I can get long-winded, LOL! I hope you have a great weekend and can do some research on some of this. Susie [/QUOTE]
