[QUOTE="novangel, post: 404156"] We did a full evaluation (6 total hours) that in the end costs $3,200.00. He also sees a child Psychologist every week. Like I said the final evaluation diagnosis was ODD and problems with short-term working memory. Phychologist disagrees with the report and says ADD. in my opinion he does not meet the criteria 100% for either diagnosis. He's very organized and does not have an explosive temper. He is well liked by other kids (outgoing and a bit of a class clown) and I would even go as far as to say he's pretty popular. He just has a hard time listening to directions and focusing. He's easily distracted and fidgets. At times he will argue with authority when he feels he's being picked on. He takes too much redirection as disapproval and then he's done cooperating and becomes angry. I have found this only happens with teachers that have zero tolerance for any kid behavior. One thing I have learned since having a child is I know my kid is not perfect but some teachers/ daycare providers just suck and shouldn't even be working with children unless they're prepared to deal with all types. Since having him moved to a new second grade class in December the problems have diffused by 90%. He does not use swear words, bully or damage property....and I hope things never turn into that. Although he does like to talk about bodily function a lot which gets on my nerves but I think most boys do this. I hear the word "weiner" at least 10 times a day. Daycare is not impressed. Oh well. I pay them 8k a year to listen to him say weiner. Deal with it. I would have to agree with the ADD diagnosis more but there is a defiant side to him that pops up every once in a while that the psychologist has not seen. At this time I am not willing to put him on medication. I will make that assessment later when I know for sure what's going on. In general he's a very happy child but has some inner turmoil (inconsistent father) that hopefully will be addressed with the Psychologist. So far things have been looking up but I won't deny that i'm scared about 3rd grade. :scared: [/QUOTE]
