Yes, frustration is expected, but throwing and hitting on a regular basis, isn't a good thing or a reasonable coping mechanism.

6. Speech is there but he clearly cannot get out everything he wants to say--speech issues are largely motoric in nature. Behaviors have escalated to hitting and throwing things.

Age of your child?

Normal. Wait for the speech to come and model.

Try the KKI outpatient clinic in Columbia, MD for behavioral issues.

We've never done any kind of psych services previously. I'm aware of Alvord Baker but there are a lot of names on their webpage. Does anyone have a good therapist there or elsewhere in MD? We're seeing escalation in behaviors and need to do something because clearly whatever we're doing isn't working. I have not found many good books on helping your kid with anger issues.

Thanks.
