[QUOTE="Ropefree, post: 243370, member: 6271"] WF: It sounds to me that you have a thoughtful approach considerate of your child. When an Learning Disability (LD) and focus is the issue the best approach is to be consistant and support the achievements so that the success is what motivates your learner (child) and meanwhile the habits of regular effort and study are your gift for his continued developement. My adhd boy benifited mightly from books on tape and being read to hours per day. His grasp of language and an enormous amount of learning retention as well as the capacity to listen. And he could do other things while listening to a book on tape which as a busy bee was engaging for him and also a joy to watch. Also other activities that have at their core the learnning involved. If it is speach formation then be creative: maybe singing. If you have the means to pay out of pocket for a speach therapist or whatever you discover is going to make the differance for him by all means do not let the school district waste his valuable years of education waiting for his turn to have his education prioritised. If you are able and willing to go that route, having the testing conducted by the sd to get the baseline in place so that they are providing whatever they offer for services for him at the school is helpful. Meanwhile explore what and who you feel is worth the money and see what they offer and what they do. Remember those folks do know what the school your child does...they handle the run off. They probably also do things that are paid for by the sd/doe by parents who have already gone through the long tedious rigamaroll to get services and then the delay and the nocando's that lead to the outside adgency.
