[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 417768, member: 1233"] This isn't typical behavior for a 5yo. She needs a very thorough evaluation from a neuropsychologist, a developmental pediatrician, speech/language therapist, and occupational therapist. I also strongly suggest a hearing test. There are a LOT more things that can go on other than hearing/not being able to hear. Does she have normal sleep patterns? If not, maybe a sleep study would help. I also suggest at least trying the casein free/gluten free diet. It isn't fun at first because casein is in so many things (it is a protein from milk), but it can make an enormous difference in some people. Allergies/intolerances can really impact behavior and thinking. And while there may be long waits for doctor appts (3 months, maybe more - crazy, I know), you can do the girlfriend/cf diet yourself. Other members here would likely to be happy to share recipes their kids enjoy that are girlfriend/cf. The link in my signature will take you to the Parent report outline. It is a report that YOU write about your child so that you can keep everything organized and in one place. It is invaluable at doctor offices, etc... [/QUOTE]
