[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 560893"] Janet - I am not sure where Jamie lives - but his best bet would be to take her to the closest, best Children's Hospital and have a full work up done by their Child Development department. It's an exhaustive work up - a big part of it is a multi page questionnaire on the child; filled out by the parents. They approach it from all angles - physical, neurological, psychological, sociological, etc. I had my PC18 evaluated when he was having trouble at age 5 and they wanted to leave him back in kindergarten. For what it's worth - I was convinced he was on the spectrum (like my nephew) and he was not. He was (and still is) just a little quirky. He is now a college student on an academic scholarship! I would start with a broad based evaluation free of any preconceived notions. I worked with Children's Memorial in Chicago and later with Children's Hospital of Milwaukee and both were incredible and multi faceted. They treat the whole child and have a family based approach which is really important. My experience with allowing schools to take the lead is not good. I think they try to fill the programs they have regardless of whether or not the program fits the child. If Jamie has medical insurance, it should be covered. [/QUOTE]
