[QUOTE="Chantillylaceo, post: 597867"] Thanks. I think I'm going to talk to his Occupational Therapist (OT) about it and then take him to his pediatrician with my concerns and then she can make a referral from there if she agrees with me. As for the poor coordination - his Occupational Therapist (OT) says that is common with sensory kids because they avoid certain muscle groups in their sensory avoidance and they are less aware of where their body is in space. The problem with getting an IEP is that he's a very bright kid. He will probably qualify for a section 504, but his sensory issues don't affect his learning... yet. Also, what will the neuropsychologist do that the psychologist did not? We know he has a typical IQ and there is no learning disability or anything. I guess I'm just concerned about paying for another full evaluation. We already pay almost $250/month for Occupational Therapist (OT) and $60/month for his medication and we just paid for the psychiatric evaluation 9 months ago. Our insurance really doesn't cover all that much, if you can't tell. [/QUOTE]
