[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 608773, member: 11791"] <sigh> welcome to the club. Mine are teenagers now... but I [I]do[/I] remember! You may have to take an opposite approach to getting dxes... start with the details: has he ever had an Occupational Therapist (OT) assessment for motor skills and sensory issues? An Occupational Therapist (OT) is usually better able to evaluate those two areas, AND has therapies and interventions and accommodations that really work. PLUS... an Occupational Therapist (OT) report is taken seriously by other medical professionals. A kid can be highly athletic, and still have fine motor skills problems. They can be really bright, but have auditory processing challenges that make it hard to cope with the classroom environment (that's over and above any sensory issues...) - but Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) testing won't be done before at least age 7 Have you looked into trying some of the basic dietary changes that help some of our kids? (not mine... unfortunately) some of the common ones are: - casein free (CF, dairy-free) - gluten free (girlfriend) - food colorings and dyes What is the quality of his sleep like? not quantity... a kid can get 10 hours of "sleep" and not get anywhere close to the "restorative sleep" necessary to cope with life.
