[QUOTE="tryingtocope, post: 33197, member: 3549"] So I took my difficult child first the first part of the evaluation at the children's hospital yesterday. It went well. The developmental pediatrician was great and she actually spent time engaging with him. My experience this time was very different then with the psychiatrist who didn't talk to him much at all. At the end she suggested that I have him evaluated by the school district because he is supposed to start kindergarten in September. Also, she said that she was concerned about his ability to process language. His language issues may be what is effecting his social interactions. She said that he did not seem to have a problem with attention span. She said that it is possible that he is on the autism spectrum, but she doesn't think so. She still wants to gather as much information as possible. She also wants me fill out a form and have his former teacher fill out a form. Also she wants me to find out about intergrated preschools and at the very least get him involved in some activities like gymboree or a sport to give him an opportunity to interact with kids. My second session with the developmental pediatrician is on May 9. So now I'm on the phone. Has anyone had their child evaluated by the school district? What are some things that I should to be concerned about? [/QUOTE]
