Ryan was first diagnosed with Attention Deficit, Hyperactivity Disorder. He had just started
preschool and was unable to remain in one place for more than a minute or two. His parents
had already had a very difficult time in disciplining him, because he would become very
upset and throw temper tantrums when he could not do as he wished. He just seemed to be
an unhappy, irritable child. This behavior continued in school. As time progressed, Ryan
was diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, because he continued to refuse to listen
to adults and comply with the rules.By the age of 12, he has begun to bully and annoy
others. His parents have decided that the approaches they have used in the past are not
