[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 43967, member: 393"] Day treatment involves partial academics (3 hours) & partial therapy, skills training along with group (3 1/2 hours) daily. Both of the treatment facilities that kt & wm attend specialize in PTSD & attachment disorder. Know the ins & outs of children who have suffered abuse/neglect & trauma. It's not for the faint of heart - these settings have some of the toughest children. They are tough because of the maladaptive survival skills they had to learn while in the abusive &/or neglectful settings. These children tend to come out the other end of those situations very "disturbed". Little to no empathy for others, inability to trust adults (caregivers), highly anxious, very hyper-vigilant & defiant. They have survived but have many scars. As to the diagnosis - I would expect, given bio mom's hx of drug/alcohol abuse there are other issues going on with difficult child as well. I would anticipate a level of abandonment &/or attachment issues to say the very least. The voices that difficult child is hearing could be part of the PTSD - in some of the most complex cases our children can & will dissociate. [/QUOTE]
