[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 443631, member: 11791"] The HS comment... is a brick wall many of us have hit... it must be even harder for you, when it's in your formal training! What else can you do? I'm backing SRL... I'd be looking at an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation. This will not result in any diagnoses... but the results from the Occupational Therapist (OT) report can be very useful for any of the other professionals involved. AND, they often have therapies that help. In this case, you'd probably be asking specifically about sensory issues. Ditto on the Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) (speech/language) - not for [U]speech[/U] issues, but for auditory processing issues. It isn't likely to be Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD), but could be difficulties with auditory filtering/focus/discrimination. This can lead to the child being overwhelmed when they have been around too much sound stimulation for too long. These two are usually faster to get in to see, than "specialists" like psychiatric etc. - so, it may give you an early start on the process. And if the reports come up with nothing... that adds to the picture, anyway, by ruling out certain things. [/QUOTE]
