[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 64071, member: 2423"] When J (difficult child 1) was 8 and in 3rd grade, I called our pediatrician and explained how J hated school and seemed smart but had difficulty doing the work. Without my saying anything further, he said, "Under these circumstances, I always tell parents to have an evaluation." He gave me the names of two neuropsychologists, and J was evaluated about 2 months later. While not all peds are as enlightened as ours, I would hope that if you explain in a straightforward manner what you're experiencing with your son, yours, too, will refer you for an evaluation. Furthermore, if you have a children's hospital nearby, you can call directly and ask if you need a referral for an MDE. You may very well not. [/QUOTE]
