Behavioral Parent  Training  is  an  integral  part  of  treating  oppositional  and  defiant  behaviors.  I  have  helped  hundreds  of  families  in  the  Low  Country  with  this  issue.  Challenging  behaviors  can  grow  over  time  and  I  help  parents  extinct unhelpful  behaviors  and  create  a  reinforcement system  to  get  helpful  behaviors  established.  Early  intervetion  is  invaluable  in  nipping  these  learned  behaviors  in  the  bud    

When  I  talk  anout  ADHD I  always  talk  about  Executive  Function  Skills.  All  children  have  to  develop  executive  function  skills  and  this  time  period  of  2-7  years  of  age  can  be  very  trying  for  caregivers  and  parents.  We  all  know  about  the  terrible  2’s  well  a  budding  ADHD diagnosis  makes  this  time  period  very  difficult  for  the  entire  family.  Treating  this  issue  involves  helping  the  child  have  age  appropriate  understanding  of  executive  function  skills  and  where  they  are  vulnerable .  We work to strengthen skills when possible and develop accommodations to manage deficits.
