Our gut (and those of many of the therapists who have worked with DD and seen the ChildFind/speech reports) is that nothing will come out of the IEP meeting. If she needs something, we'd either need to really prove what we need from the county or pay for it privately (which we're ok with doing if we can figure out what she needs).

But you might be right -- and we're starting to think -- that maybe it is just a matter of time. She isn't really delayed in anything, but there's a sense that she's "different" because she's so unusual in how she imagines things and plays. It is more a matter of figuring out the cause of sudden, intense negative behaviors. And if there isn't a cause, training her to manage them appropriately. While at the same time, we want to preserve the positive parts of how creative she is. [/quote]

My son has the intense negative behaviors as well.  I haven't figured out how to help him manage them yet.  Each time it happens, it brings a new set of challenges.  If I knew what was triggering the behavior, it would be so much easier to "fix".  What outlets have you given your daughter to express herself?  [/quote]
