[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 305076, member: 805"] Dara, good to hear from you again, but sorry you had to come back for a not so positive reason. I have a couple suggestions and I'm sure others will be along shortly with some as well. Contact the local school district (his home school) and request a full educational evaluation. Even though he attends private school, the law requires that he be allowed testing in his local school district. Once you have that in hand, and it will include a variety of psychological, socialogical, and academic testing, you will have a clearer picture of any learning issues Sammy may have. You may find that there are services right there in the local school that can address some of his motor issues as well as the social ones too. Naturally I suggest this route because you mention that you guys are financial strapped right now. This will cost you nothing. You might want to go over the Special Education board and find out how to word a letter regarding the testing to the school. Very often the public school system has more resources to help. The struggle is getting those supports in place. But you are not there yet. What you really need now is to find out, past his multiple diagnosis's, what learning disabilities and social issues he might be struggling with. I know this must be very disappointing for you. Is there any way you can go to the school and request that Sammy have the same teacher from last year? My son is pretty socially distant as well. It is heart breaking to watch sometimes.
