RAD behaviors to expect...?

I agree with Lorraine about the therapist being uninformed. My oldest was a month shy of his 7th birthday when he came to me. We are going on almost 3 years now and he has improved behaviorally quite a bit. Many in the community have noticed how much he has grown. I think this past week has been a turning point for him in therapy - he now appears to want to work thru some of the past verbally - he has been doing it in play but not as far back as the birth family issues. There is still a long way to go for him and our family but we are making slow and consistent progress. Sometimes you have to be willing to hang in for the really long haul with a RAD kid but it is worth it. Just my experiences
