[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 204307, member: 1233"] I totally agree with a full evaluation by a developmental pediatrician, neuropsychologist, or multidisciplinary team. I ALSO STRONGLY think that a private Occupational Therapy evaluation is needed. Things like reading while standing on her head are a red flag that she has sensory issues that can be addressed. With my youngest, we addressed the sensory issues (there were a LOT of them) and many of the other issues went away. He is pretty much a normal kid, jsut with some sensory problems. I really really think you need to get the pediatrician to give you a referral to a private Occupational Therapist (OT). Often you can get in there faster than you can get in to a neuropsychologist or developmental pediatrician or whatever. You really NEED both types of evaluations. Get the referrals, get the appointments and see what they say. [/QUOTE]
