RAD

You are right. there are very few therapists who are trained to effectively treat RAD...probably because only 1 to 2% of the population is adoted and so relatively few children have RAD.

Meds are ineffective for RAD and many many children with RAD are misdiagnosed with ADHD and other conditons...hence the need for a thorough assessment by a trained and competant therapist.
