[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get him a full evaluation by a developmental pediatrician or child psychologist and not just an evaluation for gross and fine motor issues which will be done by an OT.  You need to know what the problem is first before you can address it.  The anger issue can be from anxiety, ADHD, etc or nothing - the preschool can just be a bad fit but you won't know until you get a full evaluation.

Good luck![/quote]

Thank you - which of those would you start with, the developmental pediatrician or a child psychologist? We want to help him with whatever this is before he heads to elementary school.[/quote]

Where are you?  Who is doing the gross and fine motor eval?  If you are getting the eval through childfind, you can ask them to do a psych ed evaluation in addition to the motor issues.  They should be able to do it within 6 wks.

In the meantime, get on the waitlist at BOTH Children's and Kennedy Krieger Institutes to get a full developmental evaluation.  The wait is long like several months but you can always cancel the other appointment.  [/quote]
