[QUOTE="buddy, post: 504561, member: 12886"] HI just adding to what the others have said.... If she was truly one of those kids who just chose to behave a certain way due to her personality as I imagine an ODD child, you would, I think...others here know better on this one.... be seeing it at home too. BUT as the others have said, when there are OTHER real true issues going on, driving the oppositional behavior (different from ODD)... Follow TeDo's suggestion and ask for a special education evaluation. A social worker can not diagnose learning issues, I would see if I could get a neuropsychological evaluation (neuropsychologist).... they look at a wide range of abilities and problems and help connect behaviors to what is going on in the brain. From there you get a much better view of where to go next .... psychotherapy versus medications versus specialized teaching versus seeing a speech/language pathologist or an occupational therapist for further evaluations and possible neurology exam. Is the appointment you got with a psychologist or a psychiatrist? Hope to hear from you... hang in there... [/QUOTE]
