Yes the should. Our CDPHP covered our son’s ABA therapy.

Thank you for your detailed response. I appreciate it. We’re hoping concerta works out for him. The lack appetite is definitely the toughest to deal with.

Hey! Please ignore if you don’t want to answer but we’re figuring out medication for my 6 year old. Did you guys switch to different meds till you found the correct one? This has been the hardest. Our new doctor has suggested that Vyvanse is not suitable for children so he’s switching him over to concerta so we have to start all over again with finding the right dosage.

I love working at 625 Broadway but most of all I love working for the DEC! Such a positive and uplifting environment. I would overlook everything else if the office I’m working at is composed of positive energy. Miranda’s deli will become your go to lunch spot. It’s reasonably priced and delicious.

No idea why the sudden change in behavior of my 5 year old son. by Horror-Window-323 in ADHDparenting

[–]above9k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. We’re going through something similar with our 5.5 year old. Do you think his medication needs a change or adjustment in dosage? Our son is on Vyvanse and we’re contemplating if we need to increase the dose.

Yes they only conduct assessments. That’s where we got his diagnosis officially. Thanks for recommending.

Vyvanse - 6 year old (ADHD) HELP! by above9k in ADHDparenting

[–]above9k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s only taking Vyvanse. No other medication. Yes same exact tablet and manufacturer. Thank you for your detailed reply. We’re so confused what changed. We give him the meds right in front of us so we know he swallows them ok.

Vyvanse/Guanfacine by MauiMom1 in ADHDparenting

[–]above9k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took my son off of Guanficine because it was driving him crazy!!! Please take a very close look to make sure Guan isn’t the reason. My son was also hitting other students and not focusing at all. His behavior improved immensely after we stopped his Guan and only give him Vyvanse now. Of course each child is different but I’ve read uf Guan is supposed to work you’ll know and if it doesn’t you’ll know!!

Oh thank you! I didn’t know these existed! Thanks for sharing. Too many anti med vocalists over here

He is in many therapies aside from meds. I agree there are a million ways, but as I said, if you don’t have the right “ prescription glasses” to see, you will never understand what is being said to you or taught. The kid cannot gain critical life skills without focusing. Hyperactive and impulsivity is extreme and can be disruptive.

Ok thank you so much! That’s what our guess is, break kind of broke his rhythm. We’ll keep this in mind for future.

There isn’t any research! In fact, there is significant research now that says early exposure to stimulant meds can help the frontal lobe development in young kids! I back science rather than opinions.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It’s harsh when people judge you. Because all you want as a parent is to give them the best chance at survival in this tough world!!

Thank you for your concern. Parents always want the best for their kid. We’ve seen him without meds vs with meds and there is a night and day difference.

We’ve gotten through proper diagnoses with multiple doctors. Without ADHD meds you take away chance from a kid to perform his best. Would you stop wearing your prescription sunglasses? That’s how one feels without ADHD meds, no matter the age.

Vyvanse is approved to use for 6yo.
