[QUOTE="maverik767, post: 417647, member: 11529"] nvts-He was originally diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) and ADHD but the doctor at LIJ feels he does not have Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), but does have ADHD with ODD. What is the difference between a psychologist ( or whatever their names are who can also give medications) and having neuropsychologist testing? He was tested at the docs on certain things, behavior, adaptation, how he plays and other stuff like that already. rl-We have had an IEP assessment done and the school feels he needs occupational therapy and in school counseling. We are working hard with him on his reading and writing skills as they are lacking, but progressing. He does pretty good when its one on one but the minute your attention wavers or anything he starts acting up or not doing his work right. I actually just picked up the book The Explosive Child today and am going to start reading it as soon as I can. As for the hitting it wasnt a one time incident, he has been caught pushing other kids and being very rough with them as well as telling other kids very mean things. As of right now he has been doing a lot better but he still needs the constant reminders and ques to behave and listen. [/QUOTE]
