[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 287008, member: 1991"] Following on from Susie's thoughts - have you had her checked out or listed with Community Health Service in your area? Also since you've got fostering in place, will DOCS assess her for hearing and language? They stepped in with difficult child 3 until they realised that his reading and piano playing meant he would test out as above average IQ and they could only help if he was "retarded". Even splinter skills would not be enough. Also, the nearest capital city to you has some really good testing (neuropsychologist) which would be good to hook into for the other kids too. There is a wait but it's worth it if you can get neuropsychologist testing done on Medicare. You would need a GP referral but it shouldn't be too difficult. Marg [/QUOTE]
