[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. Thanks all for your answers. We are in MoCo. DS is in a progressive private. He is doing well socially. He has friends, and have lots of playdates/sleepovers. His friends know him well, and accommodate his impulsivity/loudness, etc.

His teacher, whom we like very much, says "his body and his brain are always on the move."

I appreciate any psych/neuropsych providers you may recommend. Thanks.[/quote]

We went to Expressive Therapy and saw Corinne Crowley for neuropsych testing and then went to a psychiatrist when it became clear that he would benefit from medication.
Why did we get testing?  Because he was starting to feel depressed and anxious (nightmares, lots of nightmares) because he did NOT have a teacher like yours who was able to accommodate, and his relationships with his peers could sometimes suffer from his impulsivity and loudness even though he had strong friendships.  He is on a low dose of medication and all the problems have simply vanished.  It's like I have all the wonderful parts of my kid without any of the other issues.  And his [different] teachers love him now, and he's had strong performances in school.[/quote]

PP, what grade is your son?[/quote]
