[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 331295, member: 2322"] Sounds like you have stumbled across a good neuropsychologist. He should know where to send you. My son is cognitively well within the normal range--his issues are mostly attentional in nature. Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) is a spectrum disorder. Good question on what you help and what must be endured--I think with much of what we deal with it is both. You can help, but there are no quick fixes. Endurance is the name of the game. If there is something that can be medicated one can see a quick fix--with both of my kids finding a medication that helped made a huge immediate difference. But there are things that medications haven't helped, and they are a slow process of maturation, good parenting, and sheer endurance. Getting your school on board is really key. So often they aren't willing to adapt to the child's challenges--they make you feel like a bad parent for sending in a kid with problems. One thing the neuropsychologist should be able to definitely help with is to suggest what accomodations and strategies the school should be putting in place. [/QUOTE]
