[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 586878, member: 11847"] Mason, Build your file for sure. But be also vigilent to have him evaluated by highly competent professionals. It is frustrating but don't shy away from a long waiting list if it means getting your son seen by one of the best experts in your area. Unless speech and Occupational Therapist (OT), comprehensive evaluation are best left to PHd level professionals (school will unlikely be PHD level, but it's different than private). Also, your pediatrician should listen NO MATTER WHAT. You don't need "proof" by someone else. Your "testimony" of your son's behavior is proof enough. Sure you are not a doctor (or maybe you are ... I actually don't know lol), but you are an expert in your child. Start having this frame of mind right now. I don't mean to be tough on you, but you need to be armed for the journey ahead of you. You'll have to be strong and confident in your knowledge of your child. It is a tough road and this forum will be here to help you. You will learn a lot and need to keep an open mind, but don't doubt your own skills as a parent. [/QUOTE]
