[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 8438, member: 1550"] If you call a university hospital, you probably won't need a pediatrician's referral. I did both of mine on my own, and I only have state insurance and both times it was covered, and they gave my kids very thorough exams. This happened once in Illinois and once in Wisconsin. Hope this helps--you can't always count on pediatricians to know when something isn't right--they do "sniffles." ODD is usually the result of a bigger disorder. Almost all kids with problems display ODD behavior. In of itself, the description isn't that useful. I have a hint of advice: Skip a psycologist or any sort of talk therapist as your first professional. They have no medical training and often want to treat everything behaviorally, but, if it's a disorder, a child usually won't respond to behavioral therapy until he is stabilized or getting the proper interventions. Also, look at your family background for hints of what might be going on with your child. [/QUOTE]
