Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Dr. Bradstreet - http://www.icdrc.org/ I don't know of many doctors that accept insurance any more because of their limitations on treatment. Be prepared to meet your max out of pocket and be prepared to file your own claims. Also, if you are planning a career change or anything that will cause a change in insurance and you will not have a pre-existing conditions waiver, wait to treat or treat her out of pocket.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Since she behaves well in school, she may be having sensory issues, i.e. sensory integration dysfunction or sensory processing disorder. The biomedical suggestions given by other can help, but you may also want to consult with an occupational therapist to have her tested there (which would be covered by insurance if she is diagnosed with it) for some short-term solutions. Does she over-react to any sorts of sensory things at home ... tags in shirts, hates water on face, will not play in sand or with finger paints, limited food choices, cries loudly with unexpected noises, craves certain spinning or jumping activities, and any sort of repetitive behaviors at home that she chooses to do? The fact that she does well at school as long as there is routine and then melts down at home is my clue. How does she do on weekends when there is no school? Are the meltdowns mostly in the afternoon? If the house was quiet and no other kids around, would she play quietly and be happy in the A.M. only to later meltdown in the afternoon?

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Have you run a DDI hair test and applied counting rules? When was her most recent vaccine? What's her diet like? Consider any toxins in the environment at home...any smokers in the household (even if they don't smoke in the house it lingers in hair, on clothes, etc)? perfume-wearers?

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 My daughter was so similar to yours - I feel for you! We suffered years of some very difficult times in our household and did a trial of medications, without much success. We found the biomedical route at around age 7, and have been making gains ever since. I would agree with getting a DDI hair analysis, also I would recommend allergy testing - food intolerances can cause so many issues. > > Hello, we have a 4yr old, she is our middle child, she is very smart, sweet, adorable, gorgeous... but!!!!! since she was a baby we knew she was different, non the less challenging... > > Weird enough she behaves well in school, unless there is a big change. > > Most of her big tantrums take place at home, example if she does not get her way, she fights, screams, cries, you name it!!! she is very stubborn, persistent, picky, she knos how to drive us nuts.. it's weird - CRAZY & unpredictable!!!
