[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 526825, member: 11791"] Working memory deficit. Possibly also neuro-motor (i.e. Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD)) in fine motor skills. This will snowball VERY fast. Tip of the iceberg, right now. Excuse me while I stop and tear out my hair. NO. No No No! Kids do well IF THEY CAN - [B]NOT "if they want to"[/B]. And SCHOOL loves to push the "doesn't want to" thing. So, he's being punished by not being allowed to burn of negative energy, for something he actually has no control over? This is so deja-vu. I'd be getting him an independent Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation for sensory and motor skills issues ASAP. PLUS - push the school for this, but if they won't, then get it independently as well - evaluation for the [I]full spectrum of auditory processing disorders, [B]including auditory figure ground.[/B][/I] Why? Because these problems are overlooked FAR too often. Schools will NOT push to test "marginal" students... and then, when the kids go off the rails with bad behavior, it gets blamed on either poor parenting, or bad choices on the part of the kid. And both arguments get me steaming, really fast. Just because I can move a 100lb rice-sack, doesn't mean I can make a living carrying them. Just because a kid can write a sentence, or a paragraph, doesn't mean he can write an essay. Just because he can do it in the morning, doesn't mean he can do it in the afternoon. There WILL be one or more reasons. Best time to find them is... now. Lots of time to turn him around... [/QUOTE]
