[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 429660, member: 11847"] My next step is the psychiatric. evaluation to understand if there are any learning impairment or simply a lack of interest on his part. He simply won't learn anything in school or at home. I actually gave on academics right now. The fact that he does know his alphabet or such does not worry me on its own. He is barely 4. But he ask me to do it with him, and it's like teaching a wall... Very frustrating for the both of us. He is very good with his motor skills though. He is actually suprisingly good, which is one of the reason the doctor was unsure of any other disabilities. The doctor did not rule it out by any means, just said that we need more time and evaluations to really know. Personally, I think they will find ADD (without the hyperactivity). He is extremely disorganized, can't remember what he is supposed to do, can't focus on anything unless he is REALLY interested in the task. I'm hoping for a diagnosis really soon so we can start applying methods that will help him. And knowing it before Kindergarten would allow us to have an IEP and for him not to fall behind. A note on medications: I think there is a place for them, but for now I want my son to embrass who he is and learn how to work with it. In our case, the whole family needs to be educated about his disorders and teach him that everyone is different and that he can have a happy and productive life. He needs to discover his strenghs even if there are not part of the traditional model( ie: school). Our doctor was actually very good about highlighting that. [/QUOTE]
