[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 520631, member: 11791"] You caught him by age 13? You're still doing better than some of us! And yes - getting the right label(s) often helps the KID's self-esteem... THEY knew all along that they couldn't do what was being asked of them... but nobody "got it", nobody beleves a kid about this stuff because the kid is just perceived as lazy or having an attitude. Math and mechanics... yup. The whole writing refusal/pushback, the technology issues (and we're not dealing with dyslexia... but Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD)) Speaking of which... while you're at it, have you had him evaluated for motor skills issues by an Occupational Therapist (OT)? That can be on top of everything else, and they can have a subtle fine motor skills problem that doesn't seem to affect gross skills or basic living... and it makes school next to impossible. And if you really want to pull out the stops... Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) evaluation? (APDs, especially things like auditory figure ground) Subtle un-diagnosed challenges can really mess up a kid. Getting the right answers... is like a miracle medication. It's amazing how fast they can turn around. And hey - ya you - kill that mommy guilt thing, will ya? We do the best we can with what we know, and when we know more, we do better (somebody else's sig line...) [/QUOTE]
