[QUOTE="nvts, post: 344785, member: 3814"] Hi! We're on a snow day too. Mine are driving me nuts! I would recommend that you get a neuropsychologist done for her. You can have them done at a Children's or Teaching Hospital (a ton of outpatient tests that measure all kinds of stuff). I get "icky" when they come up with ADHD/ODD for kids at this age. To me, these are more "symptoms" of different things as opposed to a diagnosis. All 3 of my older kids were diagnosed with the same thing and it turned out that they've all got Aspergers Syndrome. Your daughter sounds EXACTLY like difficult child 3 - girls can present very differently than boys. Concerta was great with difficult child 1 for the first couple of weeks. Then the exact same thing happened with him as your daughter. As far as school goes, I don't believe that they have the same requirements as far as IEP's go. Public schools are lawfully required to provide an IEP if the situation warrants it. Private schools can pick and choose what students they want to or are able to accomodate. Take many many deep breaths. It's a bit of a rough road, but we're here to help - ask questions, double check, and then ask the questions again - there's a major learning curve for all of us and this is a great group with a LOT of experience! Welcome to the crowd! Beth [/QUOTE]
