Her aunt is doing everything she can to keep her at home with her...but if we can't get a grip on her flying off the handle, she is going to have to go to a group home setting and we are hoping to avoid that!!!
Has she seen a behavioral specialist at all? Sometimes the medical doctor or even the caseworker will suggest such a meeting/evaluation and these specialists make recommendations on what was observed during the evaluation. A weighted blanket/quilt may well be one of the recommendations...
