[QUOTE="SRL, post: 14043, member: 701"] Suzy I would also want an accurate diagnosis. Your child may be doing very well today and make a 180 degree turn. It happened to my difficult child when he made the transition from K to 1st. He needed a major increase in services, adaptations, etc. and we would have been at ground zero without a diagnosis, recommendations via reports from specialists, him having already qualified, etc. But because we knew all that had to happen is bumping up minimal services several notches. One other thing you will want to look into if NLD traits are present. NLD kids frequently get through grade school and totally fall apart when they hit middle school. In fact, that's the age when many of them get their diagnosis because suddenly the setting makes the difference between functioning vs. non-functioning. The new environment, increased social and academic needs really throw them for a curve. [/QUOTE]
