[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When can you start cbt? I need some immediate help re what type of behavioral therapy to do. And where. I'm having a hard time finding anyone. [/quote]

I'm PP from above who suggested CBT.  We didn't start it until my DD was a bit older, but Alvord Baker therapists came to Maddux (where my DD attended pre-school and pre-K) to talk about CBT for kids her age.  They can work with kids at their level because it's concrete.  Call Alvord and ask.  There are also lots of other CBT therapists around. As for NVLD, that has a significant spatial component, so you would see challenges with spatial abilities or very different ways of solving spatial-based problems. You may have an LD or LDs in your future, but I wouldn't worry about that now - if the behavior is the thing that's causing the most disruption for you and your child, you should try to focus on getting that under control.  If it's anxiety-based (or because of ADHD), you might want to consider medication.  Medication has been a lifesaver for my DD; it has helped her in every area of her life. If you are interested in that, however, I would see a psychiatrist for the meds (not a dev ped or your regular ped).[/quote]
