[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry I can't offer you a referral. But I will say we had what sounds like a similar (awful) experience last year with my then 6 year old who has since been diagnosed with ADHD. It was very hard to find a psychologist and then we found one and had an awful experience. But what I'm writing to say is that it got much better after we 1) got him into OT and a social group run by a speech pathologist to deal with his sensory issues and social skills; 2 really changed our parenting to be more encouraging and clear about the expectations; and 3 helped him gain skills that made him confidence (eg tying his shoes). I'm sure counseling could help too but I don't think many do much to help with the times you're not in session. I hope things turn around for you all [/quote] New PP. Who did you see for OT and social group by SP?[/quote]
