[QUOTE="Zora, post: 495250, member: 13532"] Thank-you for welcoming me. He was evaluated for fine motor, he was above average, I haven't had gross motor evaluated because I know it's well above average, he's very strong, athletic and well-balanced. That was also a big problem when he was a toddler/preschooler. He would climb counters, baby gates, use chairs to unlock doors, etc. to get what he wanted and he was walking at 10 months. He has been seeing a speech therapist for 2 school years and still sees her. It used to be that only our family could understand him and I have seen a vast improvement since he started. But I'm not sure this is what you're talking about, I don't think he's been evaluated for social interaction. His teacher says that he doesn't really have any friends at school, but I know he plays soccer and other sports with kids at recess. He has one friend in our neighborhood, I think they get along because they don't spend alot of time together because his friend is there being babysat and is only there a couple times a week for a couple hours. He seems to get along better with girls because they're less competitive and better at coming up with "pretend" games that aren't as rough since rough play tends to lead to fighting more in my opinion, but I think he's getting to an age where girls think boys are icky. His teacher also says that she sees him get angry alot at school over things like someone cutting in line or taking the crayon he wants, she just says "Now Luke, is that REALLY important?" and tends to calm him down, but she doesn't tell me much when it happens because she knows he's seeing a psychologist for it. Academically he is a little behind in reading which is to be expected with his speech delay and he has trouble with story problems in math, otherwise he's very sharp and observant and tends to pick up on things that other kids miss. He also is respectful of authority there, doesn't yell or call them names like he does at home. Same with sports, he's respectful of the coaches, but that's probably because he knows if he's not I'll pull him out. How do I find someone for a neuropsychological evaluation? What do I look for? I haven't heard of doing that before. He's just a really complicated little boy and I have never really been able to figure out what will set him off. Is there someplace I can look for resources specific to my area? I'm really excited that you've brought up some new options for me, but I don't know where to begin. [/QUOTE]
