[QUOTE="SRL, post: 302868, member: 701"] Given the family history and the behaviors you're seeing, I agree with Midwestmom that an evaluation is indicated. I will tell you that most of the time in these situations when you see your pediatrician they like to refer to a psychologist/therapist for behavioral counseling or a pyschiatrist who usually jump to medications fairly quickly. You need a more thorough evaluation and want a developmental pediatrician or pediatric neuropsychologist to start. The school will also be better to work with if you acknowledge the problems and let them know that you are working on getting an evaluation done. [/QUOTE]
