[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 561705, member: 1233"] Welcome, Parker! Of course you can hang around here! we may be the only group you find who truly understand because we have been there done that. No matter what, there is almost always someone who has some experience with the problem. I don't know what kind of testing has been done, but I urge you to get a complete evaluation. Most of us recommend neuropsychologists as the good ones do very comprehensive testing. I also urge you to have her evaluated for auditory processing and sensory issues. An audiologist is the best for the auditory issues and an occupational therapist is the professional to evaluate for sensory issues. Others here can recommend info to help you research the auditory issues. I highly recommend reading "The Out of Sync Child' by Kranowitz. this describes sensory issues and has ways to help. sensory integration therapy can help with a LOT of things that I think your difficult child may need. People with sensory issues are often overwhelmed by the various sensory input they get, and often it is worse in groups of people because there are so many types of sensory info that her brain isn't handling well. The good news is that treating sensory issues gives her a TON of tools to help her cope with being overwhelmed and anxious. I have pretty severe sensory issue and I can guarantee that they don't get better if you don't get help. I know some auditory processing problems also can just overwhelm you. One thing that you need to keep in mind as you find help for her is that as a parent you know her far better than any of the experts do. So if something just feels wrong and your instincts say to stop or end or not start something, then listen to those instincts. You have them for a reason. The experts are expert in a field of study. YOU and her mom are the experts on her. One thing that will help on the forum is to create a signature like the ones that show up at the bottom of our posts. No real names, but basic info about the family and whatever issues the kids have really helps us not get confused. I urge you to create a parent report. the link in my signature will take you to the outline. The parent report is a document that you create that has all the info about difficult child in it. You take it to the various appointments and you share pertinent info from it with the doctors and tdocs and other people who are helping you. It keeps everything organized and you can show that you have done this, that and the other thing with-o having to remember it all. I hope that online schooling is very successful and that she can overcome her anxiety problems. Anxiety is an awful problem to have. [/QUOTE]
