Hello, I'm helping a friend who is suffering from too many incidents of her child with ADHD in school. He started medication towards the end of the summer. He's now in Kindergarten.
He has an IEP. She's getting calls daily with issues like hitting, pushing, scratching, punching, etc.
I'd like to help her find a therapist or advocate she can work with (and he can work with) to help their family navigate this journey. I'm doing my best, from some experience with my son, but I feel she needs someone to turn to who can guide her even further.
Does this type of professional exist? Is it a therapist for her son or her?
I know about CHADD, which is a great organization, but navigating their site is a bit overwhelming.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, kindly! Simone
