[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 266504, member: 3444"] Well, I thought I'd get the report today, but I essentially got a summary of what her report will include. She hasn't written it yet. :frowny: Part of the problem is that she is temporarily homeless, so to speak. Her old office is being demolished and she has no permanent home yet at the hospital, so things are a little chaotic right now. First off, he's a real Mr. Smarty Pants. VIQ 119, PIQ 124, FSIQ 124. So he can DO the work, no doubt about it. But when we get to the attention, executive function and memory portions of the testing, his results do not match and he is either average to below average and were definitely not what was expected. In a nutshell, he needs a LOT of time to process information before new stuff is introduced, otherwise he just DUMPS what he's processing in order to accommodate the new stuff. Makes sense? Also, his visual memory is not so hot. And the file cabinet in his brain is not very well organized (typical executive functioning issues of ADHD kids). He struggles with complex, lengthy directions and will only remember the last thing he is told to do. (So THAT'S why I have to repeat myself a dozen times for anything to get done!) His fine motor skills and coordination are below average as well. She fairly well ruled out Apergers, BUT she said his cognition problems were typical of kids on the Asperger's scale. Then again, she said because he's a bright kid, it could just be that he looks at the world differently. He is definitely at risk for depression, he is way behind on his self-care/independence, and so she felt the right therapist would be a good tool for addressing those problems. He also needs help with stress management. She's going to get me some info on a tech camp through one of the universities where kids get to make their own video games. She thinks it would be really good for him. Hopefully her final, detailed report will provide the facts for me to take to the school to say "Here -- these are his issues, what can we do to help him?" It's going to take at least three weeks before I get it, though. [/QUOTE]
