[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 594617, member: 11791"] Oh dear. Can I say "all of the above"? Yes, part of it will be end-of-year burnout. Even the "typical" kids have it to some extent - which means that even their reactions to your difficult child are more testy and less patient than in Sept. Beyond that? You really need to find out where he is at. The more you can get concrete answers, the more you will be able to choose paths that will help. If they are testing for APDs, make sure the test sequence includes "auditory figure ground" and "auditory discrimination". Some of the older tests out there are just testing for language processing - but other auditory processing problems can be just as challenging. Has he ever had an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation for sensory and motor skills? Might be surprised at what turns up - and either of these are a major drain on "coping skills". If the testing is clear... then you have eliminated a couple of possibilities. Has he ever had a comprehensive evaluation? [/QUOTE]
