[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 26333, member: 3199"] Schools are education slanted. If there is a problem that mostly shows up at home (like my son) Special Education testing isn't going to catch it. The tests done by the psychiatrist and therapists on both my sons were much more well done then the schools. Plus, the schools don't diagnosis like the docs can. Being education slanted means that the sp. ed. teachers (I was one) aren't educated about what can cause ODD. They are trained with how to do behavior modification to try to teach a child who is exhibiting ODD behaviors. I wouldn't have been able to spot a kid in my class and say he is autisic or bi-polar until I had lived with my sons. Now looking back I can see some of the same issues in my past students and my sons. I guess I'm trying to say that even if the schools testing comes up with ODD you might want to get him to a doctor.
