[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 519329, member: 11847"] Welcome, and your are not alone! Like others: Occupational Therapist (OT) and speech first. They are easy to schedule evaluation and might give you some information. Then you need a thorough psychlogical evaluation. I agree: forget the therapist until you have a bit more information on the SOURCE of his problems. Behavior is just the consequences/side effect of his issues. You can't treat the behavior if you don't know what causes it (and some therapist will tell you the source or the diagnosis is not all that important. I DON'T believe it for 1 second). You don't treat MR, the way you treat Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or the way your treat Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) or the way you treat ADHD, etc. Just like you don't treat a fever caused by a virus the same as a fever caused by bacterial infection. Know what I mean?? Getting a true understanding of your son's issues will take time. Read this forum, it will help you gain some knowledge as well as moral support. [/QUOTE]
