[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 7744, member: 10"] Hi, Even if your child got a ODD diagnosis it does not tell you much. The diagnosis says what the kid does - deliberately - and not why . It could be temperament , not a skills deficit , it is behavior so behavior management , modification programs are recommended and for the aggression maybe a medication like respiradil. Many professionals don't like the ODD diagnosis and look for the underlying factors. A lot depends how you view behavior - children do well if they can or children do well if they want to. If you see problems in behavior as a learning disability and the kid lacks cognitive skills you will adopt a skills building - working with approach. If the problem is neurolgically- biology based we might need medications together with one of the other approaches . in my humble opinion evaluating a kid using Greene's pathways- executive function deficits, language processing skill deficits, social skills, emotional regulation skills deficits and cognitive flexibility gives one a better understanding than a diagnosis.
