[QUOTE="Lost in parenthood, post: 747801, member: 23673"] Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words and direction. I have been trying to get a neuropsychologist evaluation for months but because of our insurance Aetna, I haven’t been able to find a doctor that is willing. I realize from your message that I should try to find a hospital or medical school. He sees a therapist and a psychiatrist. He and the therapist haven’t really formed a connection so sometimes it feels pointless. The psychiatrist prescribed vivance and guanfacin. It’s a low dose and it has helped some. But we are still challenged with his episodes. You are so right on with the school district! They are very difficult to work with. Last year they evaluated him to see if he needed an IEP and said he did not. This year I had them evaluation him again and they determined that yes he is eligible under EBD emotional behavior disorder. It was hard. I had to get a lawyer and if it were not for her I would not have been able to get as far as we have. Now he has accommodations for example a paraprofessional to work with him. It’s a struggle but my love for him is infinite. For a parent with an atypical child, knowledge means everything. It is very difficult to get help and direction for our kids. Thank you again for your guidance. [/QUOTE]
