[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a 9 y.o. we have finally given up and decided we need a developmental pediatrician.  I just spoke with Children's yesterday and I got an appointment for her for August!  We are also on the waitlist for Kennedy Krieger.  You might get there faster is you are willing to go private without insurance.

I tripped upon a great podcast the other day.  http://www.peoplespharmacy.com/2015/03/19/show-986-treating-adhd-naturally/

having trouble downloading this. What's the gist of the natural treatments? No dyes? B vitamins? fish oil? Anything we haven't heard of?[/quote]

just my two cents on this - although I have not gone to the link above.  Many of us have pinned our hopes on a "natural treatment" for ADHD, wanting to avoid medicating our child.  While taking some of these "natural" supplements won't hurt, they certainly do not help.  At least not nearly enough to make a difference in the every day life of an ADHD kid.  Please don't waste your money or your kid's precious time on any of this stuff....like so many of us have in the past.  Every single one of us would drop meds in a minute if there was a natural treatment that actually worked!

The only two things that really work for ADHD are  1) meds   2) interventions/therapy

Again, that is just my opinion based on my past experience and the past experiences of many others on this board. [/quote]
