[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 251317, member: 1233"] What doctors and therapists are you working with to help your child? Who diagnosed him with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)? Has he ever seen a developmental pediatrician or been evaluated by a neuropsychologist? The dev pediatrician was extremely helpful with our son who has Asperger's. And many people here highly recommend testing by a neuropsychologist - they do a whole bunch of tests over several days time and can be very good at pinpointing exactly what is going on. Maybe if the school was trained in brushing therapy to help with sensory issues? Did you do that with him? It helps retrain the brain to handle sensory input. (I must say that I can't speak highly enough of brushing therapy - I really thought our youngest would have an Asperger's diagnosis also, but he "only" has Sensory Integration Disorder. The brushing therapy made a HUGE difference for him.) By the way, how old is your son? Could you do a signature at the bottom of the board like the one many of us have? It helps us remember the details that you know (age of child, an initial or nickname - nothing too personally identifying- current medications and diagnosis, etc...) so we don't ask you over and over about them. If you go the the FAQ/Board Help forum there are threads about doing a signature. There is also a thread about doing a Parent Report - it is a report that tells ALL about your son. Many of us find that it needs to be worked on in chunks rather than all at once. But it is VERY useful when answering all those questions at the doctor's office, and keeping testing straight, etc...
