[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 528953, member: 11791"] Please consider getting more detailed evaluations. There is more going on - you see that. Until you know the rest of the picture, it will be hard to get good solutions. An Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation for sensory and motor skills issues would be a good idea. Sensory issues can drive a kid right around the bend. They get "overloaded" easily, and overload leads to that "out of nowhere" behavior... but its only "out of nowhere" because we don't know what the triggers are. Motor skills issues can appear minor now, but snowball when they hit school. As half the kids with ADHD have motor skills isssues, you might as well find out. She's too young yet for a full Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) evaluation - some of the potential issues they can't test for until the child is 7 or 8. But... auditory processing disorders are another potential issue. Try researching "auditory figure ground" as one example... And then... somehow... find a way to get a comprehensive evaluation. Neuropsychs seem to be an option in the US (not where I am), children's hospitals often have a team approach (we had that for one round), some child psychologists are known to be good at this... but you need somebody who can look at the whole picture. It takes TIME to get in to see these people, so usually you start the booking process (referals, etc.) first, then start collecting data... [/QUOTE]
