[quote=Anonymous]I don't have someone to recommend. But I sympathize. I recommend you find someone who is knowledgeable about needs such as your DD's. It is helpful also to find someone who can help with some behavior planning, e.g. give ideas for how to motivate your DD to do tasks that she resists or tasks that she has a hard time focusing on. We have a CBT therapist who helps us with our own reactions as well and she encourages liberal use of motivators/reinforcers/rewards to help overcome the weakness in the motivation centers of the brain that many kids such as your daughters have. Mindfulness meditation can be very helpful in slowing down your own reactivity, noticing your own reactions better before acting on them, finding methods of self-calming, etc. Some therapists these days use a mindfulness approach in their practice so you might look for that, but I think it's essential that they know something about your daughters profile.
