[QUOTE="nvts, post: 172649, member: 3814"] Thank you all so much! I'll copy and paste it over in Special Education! Steeley! It was during the much touted "neuropsychologist" which I was less than impressed with. They didn't even go to test him on it until I brought a note that he'd written and showed them what I meant when I asked about it. The only recommendation that was written was that the school should come up with interventions for his difficulties. It seemed like they listened to what his diagnosis was on the Aspergers Syndrome, tested for that and agreed. It didn't seem like too much effort was done as far as further testing. slsh: He's been getting Occupational Therapist (OT), but in his prior school (the Nut Hatch" as I call it) the Occupational Therapist (OT) was very busy teaching him to meditate rather than work on handwriting, coordination, etc. Remember: their belief was that all behavior is intentional, nothing to do with autism, sensory stimulation, medications or anything else impacts these kids. They behave the way they do because they want to. That's why it's his "prior school". A real pack of winners, let me tell ya! He doesn't read for fun because "reading is stupid" but he's great with a keyboard (I recently found some great touch typing sites on the web and he's trying to learn it. The games on the one sight are awesome and it's proven to be entertaining. My goal for him is that if he ends up using assistive technology, he won't be "hunting and pecking" his way through life!). Sara: I hope you know you made me feel so much better! I've always hoped that higher education could be in difficult child 1's future, but started to feel that this might not happen due to his difficulties. Yes he confuses left from right, and his gramma (my bff) has some of the same issues! smallworld: thanks for the input about a neuro. I had it done, but as I mentioned before, I was less than impressed! I'll probably have to go off Island into Manhattan to do it, and right now, I'm so nauseaus and limited due to the high risk of things that I can't even look for somewhere to set it up! You're all so great, thank you so much for the information! Beth [/QUOTE]
