[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is 7, diagnosed with AuADHD. DC’s doctor has recommended therapy through CAAT to help with low frustration tolerance and general emotional expression. I understand that CAAT is 1. Out of network for insurance 2. Expensive and 3. Has a long waitlist. Doctor said CAAT is the gold standard in the area for kids who have autism and we should try to make it work if we can.

Did your child have success with 1:1 therapy at CAAT? Do you have recommendations for other therapists in Montgomery County that work especially well with patients who have autism? [/quote]

We did therapy for mostly the same issues at various places including caat. I must agree eith other poster who says talk therapy, for this population and age is mostly useless..what helped, somewhat was a program that was offered to certain kids in our elementary school where they did activities like perspective taking, coding their feelings, etc. I can't remember the name of the program but it was something we could have done at home .
I will.come back and post if I remember the name of the program (it was not peers)
Also you should have vitamin levels checked. Dc had very low frustration tolerance and we found out much layer he had low iron saturation.  This contributed alot to his issues.[/quote]

The program was Unstuck and Ontarget.
I would specifically make sure the therapist is using this curriculum  and or get the book and workbook and don't at home. You will not get overnight mirilacles but looking back 5 years later, the parent piece, adjusting our parenting and some of the curriculum from unstuck have made alot of difference. Talk therapy had between none and negative progress. [/quote]

OP here - DC has done the Unstuck curriculum twice - once through school and once through another practitioner DC was already seeing. The second time around DC basically said “I already know this”.

I will look into KAPS and also talk further with the doctor who recommended CAAT and talk therapy. I’m not eager to put another therapy on DC’s schedule so maybe there’s another way to skin this cat. [/quote]

Dc shouldn't be in therapy. Parent training is far more effective and appropriate. [/quote]

Please recommend a parent training resource or practitioner [/quote]
