[QUOTE="30 and searching, post: 242196, member: 6367"] Okay.. referral..two R's! LOL (I was tired last night... it was late, sorry for the incorrect spelling.) Thanks for the replies. Yes, I am shooting for a neurospych evaluation as from what I've read, it is the best. I want the most thorough evaluation possible. Thanks for wishing the good luck, ladies:happy: Here in Wisconsin there are two doctors who do the neorospsych evaluation, and they both have waiting lists, so it will probably be awhile before he actually gets it, but I need the referral for insurance reasons. With me being laid off, and us living mostly on husband's take home pay.. things are tight financially. Here is the letter that our son's teacher wrote for the appointment with- the pediatrician. I have had xxxxx in my PM Early Childhood class for the past five months. He currently has an IEP which includes Early Childhood and Speech/ Language Therapy. xxxxx is a very high energy child. He displays many impulsive behaviors such as; running both inside and outside, climbing on top of and jumping off tables and chairs in the classroom, running into peers, knocking over towers that other children have built, clearing a table full of toys, and then running. He grabs toys and other objects from children and laughs. During circle time in the classroom, he requires 1:1 attention in order to keep him seated with the group. He has frequent vocal outbursts which are disruptive to the entire group. He will spring from his chair, and run over to bother another child. xxxxx is not mean to anyone, and would never intentionally hurt anyone. He cannot monitor his own activity level. It is very difficult for him to maintain his attention with any projects, books or puzzles. When working with xxxxx in a 1:1 situation, he can be very sweet and will cooperate most of the time. Since the majority of work within a typical classroom is done within a group, I have concerns for xxxxx as he enters Kindergarten and beyond. He will usually respond well to sensory input; deep pressure, joint compressions, swinging, walking, bouncing on a ball, or being allowed time to just "run off steam" in the gym. xxxxx is an adorable, likeable child, but his inability to monitor his activity level could make it hard for him to make and maintain friendships. He is lucky in that, he has very loving, supportive parents who are more than willing to work with us. They truly want to help their son succeed in all settings. I would be happy to talk with you, or complete any forms, etc. that may be helpful in working with xxxxx and his parents. Feel free to call me at xxxxxxxx school any weekday. So that is the letter. Do you think it will be good enough with- the letter, and our observations and concerns to get a referral? [/QUOTE]
