[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 150023, member: 2322"] Pamela, Particularly with IQ testing in that range, and all the other issues that you describe, fetal alcohol keeps jumping out at me. while I am not one to believe that diagnosis's necessarily make a big difference, I do think that if there is some Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) component, it will guide what you can hope to achieve in a lot of domains. I would think that neuropsychologist testing might be enlightening, because it may reveal some specific issues that could be addressed. My Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) child, for instance, has a huge problem remembering what he has learned. He can learn it, but it the next day it is out of his head. He needs far more repetition of concepts. And I am better armed in the IEP discussions now. Also he is much harder to medicate than my oldests more BiPolar (BP) type child. We have had some luck actually with Zoloft with my youngest -- I was real reluctant to go there, but it has helped with his getting stuck on things. Anyway, just some thoughts. I am sorry you are going through what you are going through. It stinks. I know. Got to go get the little lovlies up for school. More later. P. [/QUOTE]
