[QUOTE="SRL, post: 284176, member: 701"] Hi and welcome to our forum. Things are pretty slow around here on summer weekends. What were the qualifications of the psychologist who did the evaluation? Was it a regular psychologist? If ADHD is an issue then at age 5 it's probably more of a matter of he "can't" settle down to complete tasks and sleep in the preschool environment than a matter of he "won't". So what recommendations did the psychiatric give? Were trialing medications included in the suggestions? Were any recommendations for helping him stay on task at school given? For instance a child who is in constant motion may benefit from having a gel bal in their hands to channel the energy into. Or may do well with special seating. You may want to look into something called Sensory Integration Dysfunction. Some kids who look ADHD are really struggling with sensory issues and are seeking out physical activity to meet needs of their sensory systems that are off from what most of us would consider normal. Is he scheduled to go to kindergarten in fall? If this were my child and the problems continued in K I'd want a full evaluation done by a private neuropsychologist as well as a team at school.
