[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 452042, member: 11791"] In reality... be thankful. Because - unless you can get specialists to document this stuff, difficult child won't get the help needed - and the problems will multiply even more. (been there done that) Remember I'm just another parent... but reading between the lines on what you reported so far... even the specialist isn't really sure what's going on, but has recommended or implied the need for further testing - for a minimum: - Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) - a good place to start with language and/or auditory issues, usually a gateway to audiology specialists which would be the next step if auditory processing problems do exist. There are multiple auditory processing problems... some (more common) affect language processing, some affect auditory focus or auditory filtering (related issues - the ability to pull one sound to the foreground or to push background noise into the background), and there may be others I'm not aware of. If the problem is filtering, the kid may be fine with language skills but do terrible in a classroom setting because they can't follow what the teacher is saying. The earlier these problems are caught, the better... - Learning Disability (LD) not otherwise specified - probably an indication that the schools need to be on the look-out for and/or testing for learning disabilities. Specialist already labelled dysgraphia - one of the lds. Maybe try exploring this with the school? Hang in there... it will be interesting to see what other details come out in the formal report.
