[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 402868, member: 1550"] I would take her to a neuropsychologist. In fact, I'd take all three to see if they have a common disorder that was missed. NeuroPsychs often find things psychiatrists miss because they test intensively and know both psychology AND neurology. I would do this test on all of them: [URL]http://www.childbrain.com/pddassess.html[/URL] How was your children's early development in the areas of speech, ability to get along with same age peers, ability to transition from one activity to another, and do any of them have any annoying "habits" or quirks? Any psychiatric problems on either side of the biological family tree? Kids with certain disorders tend to do worse when they are in stimulating places, such as a shopping mall and even school. Also, many diagnosticians diagnose ADHD when it is something more...and that doesn't help our kids. On the IEP, I just went through this with my school district.
