[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 99% sure that no public FCPS elementary has an OT/sensory type therapy room (although I think lots of dc could benefit from there.)

Are there any psychologists who specialize in this kind of attachment disorder? They would have the inside info on the best school placement.

Um, FCPS sped teacher here, and yes--there are many schools in FCPS with an OT/Sensory room, primarily those with enhanced autism programs.  I have worked with many kids who have the Attachment Disorder diagnosis, and several of them were adopted from Eastern Bloc countries.

Cheryl Wietz used to offer a lot of support in this area, working with families and providing staff development to teachers.  I took some workshops from her years ago so don't even know if she is still in practice, but it's worth a try!  She may now be in her own practice...

She used to work out of the Winter Hill Psychotherapy and Consultation Center in Falls Church--again, don't know if that still exists as it was over 10 years ago.  Good luck![/quote]
