[QUOTE="TheBoyHasArrived, post: 556651, member: 14829"] I just wanted to chime in...school-based speech pathologists are not able to diagnose Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). School-based SLPs also can not continue to provide services if a child is demonstrating age appropriate skills in the classroom. You will need to go to an audiologist to have a complete evaluation for Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) (an Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) can complete a screening or basic assessment, but it's not incredibly helpful unless your child has severe Auditory Processing Disorders (APD)). The Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) can administer an assessment and say that a child has difficulty with auditory processing as long as they don't diagnose Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). My concern is that MOST audiologists (every one that I've ever had contact with) can/will not diagnose Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) until a child is 7 or 8. Most audiologists want a child to have basic reading skills prior to the evaluation. I would not want to request a full evaluation NOW when he can't be formally tested for Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) unless he is having significant difficulties in the classroom. That said, the district I worked in before required a full evaluation for any child exiting special education, so it's not out of the realm of reasonable. Personally...As a parent, you can request a full evaluation at any time. IF he is having trouble keeping up in class, THEN I would be more concerned about requesting a full evaluation. If it's just fear that there could possibly be something there, I might ask his teachers what they see in class. I am an Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) in the schools, and I know parents are often concerned about "losing" an IEP. But, again, you can request the full evaluation at any time.
