[QUOTE=Jorgy]

cherrie,

Does you daughter have an auditory processing disorder? I am asking because she is in speech therapy and having problems with reading and math. It is imprortant for you to keep fighting for her and for you to find a dr that is familiar with ADHD. I'll send the hat and broom!!! I may ride the broom over and help, maybe all of us should come with our hats and brooms!

shes in speech therapy to inprove her speech she has a problem wih certain words for pernounciation and she speeks too fast ,,for her reading she reads in another class becouse she is easily disstracted bye everything around her and math becouse she seems to have no patience with learnng it...........lol ur broom is mine lol:)

Sending hugs!!

I always say, "thank goodness for these boards, they are my salvation some days!!"

Can the schools help you with any evaluations through them? Could they also help with finding a specialist due to the language situation? I feel so bad for you and your daughter. I am so glad that the school is being helpful, that is a good thing!!

I would definetly find another doctor for an evaluation, as well as another opinion. And if concerta is best for her, tell the doctors that you are seeing in June. Why can't they still help her and prescribe concerta? Every one is different when it comes to ALL medications, as doctors they should know that best!!

Always go with your gut instincts, they are usually right.

[/QUOTE] thanks for the hugs its the school who found me a english speech therapist it took us over 1 year on the waiting list but shes been in it 4 about 4 months now although she hates it but we deal with it im starting again to try to find a docter its so hard i do speek french very well but when it comes to docter words i rather english so i can completly understand and i want to understand everything even if it means i dont the douglas where were going in june is a mental instatute who added a part in there hospital for adhd ect but they advise they only use rittilan i am going to go anyway becouse i have no other idea what to do at the worst im hopping they can refer me to someone that kim can stay with concerta i really dont want her on rittilan again THANK YOU so much this place feels so good i can type and feel someone feels truely like i do thank you

Is there any way can get an interpreter to go with you to these appointments? There are interpreters who specialize in medical care.

[/QUOTE] im sorry i dont know what that is (interpreter)can u inform me ill check back later i just got a phone call got to get to the school

some one who can interpret what the doctor is telling you from French to English. Some one who is trained to interpet. I work for a hospital and we have a whole interpreter services department. They help interpret the doctors and differnet deparmtents instruction to patients in their language. I am just thinkin gthey could help make it clearer to you and make your points clearer to the doctor if you could hear and and explain to them in english.I am glad you are going in June, it sounds like she does have co-existing conditions so you do need to be sure the proper people are helping you make your decisions. Good for you for trying to bring as much knowledge with you to these meetings. It is difficult to sort it all out.

ok for those who remember i saw the neoraligist and i was not all all satisfied with her she looked at me like i was a young mom looking for a fast fix to relax my DD i hade to repeat myself often on when i satrted the meds ect. she asked me alote (how do you exspect a 7 year old child)and repeated 7 year olds r active and its normal they talk back eeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggg i know that im not here becouse i want her to drug my dd im here for help ive done all natural foods, vitimans, oils,we bought the book find gold i ordered food from the states becouse they had more option SORRY i seem to be explaining myself to u ....i just thought bye the way kims phd talked that we were gonna have a scan of her brain to see whats goin on and instead the neoraligist said hmm i think kim doesent need the meds she seems to only maybe have learnin disability maybe the school could do more (they do) now kim is off meds as of the end of school what do i do now..........i cant stop crying am i back at 0 is this normal from a neoraligst.......please anything u can tell me

Sounds like this neuro needs to go back to school and do some research about ADHD and other behavioral problems! Find another specialist and leave this one in the DUST! I'll lend you my witches hat and broom!
