[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 511071, member: 11791"] Has he had an Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) evaluation? If not, would psychiatric support a referral? If "auditory attention" is a problem, there may be APDs going on... especially in a noisy environment like a classroom. Has he had an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation? "motor persistence" challenges... haven't heard that term before, but it almost suggests being able to "do" things some of the time, but not able to keep doing... can write a few words, but not a whole page, for example? If so... would psychiatric support referral for Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation of motor skills? Our evaluating psychiatric had to be pushed specifically on those points... but did end up supporting the referrals "if nothing else, to rule out any problems"... and... BINGO! (on both counts) Neither of these evaluations would override a potential Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)/Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/Aspie diagnosis at all... often go in conjunction, OR can be "ADHD plus a raft of other things that don't quite add up to Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)..." Either way... there are interventions and accommodations that WORK for APDs, and for motor skills issues. [/QUOTE]
