For a child this age who is having problems that you are describing, it's really important to have a multidisciplinary evaluation done. Ok, stupid question- how do I go about getting one of those done? He used to go to the public school, and they were going to do "testing" but after 3 years, nothing at all had been done. So, do I need to go through his counselor to do this? His primary doctor? Or do I just do it on my own?

I'll look into the other disorders as well. Thanks. He has been diagnosed with Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), but as far as treatment goes, he only had what the public school offered with their Occupational Therapist (OT), but I don't think it was very much. There was little to no communication between school and home. The only problem with the private school is that although I have constant communication with his teacher (my boss), it is a bit harder to get access to the same resources as the public school.

He can't read body language at all (adults or children) so when he runs around the playground pretending to be a monster, he has no idea why the 3yos are crying. I hope I'm being clear. [/QUOTE]
