Hi, I'm Donna and I have 3 boys that have disabilities of some kind.

I applaud you for getting her help as early as you did. Its not easy to
find a doctor that will listen to you at this early in your childs life.

I have 5 grandchildren and 4 of the 5 have some kind of disabilities that
make them need help in school

One has a severe speech disability and were still not sure what else is going
on with him. Were working on other issues at the age of 6.

He could have ADHD but his doctor like many doesn't believe in meds before
6, so we are just looking at meds. But he has kept his mother up all
night for years as the energizer bunny. He has taken melantonin for
3 years or so. He was on 15 mg till the other day when his doctor prescribed
amytrillpyline because of sleep needs and headaches. To see if we
can get a hold on the need to go up again.

We are working on it. He is making strides with the speech and sensory things, but not as intensively as needed.

We are filling out paperwork right now, for the doctor. And so is the school.
