[QUOTE="buddy, post: 531111, member: 12886"] Sounds like you have a good office that specializes in the types of issues you have concerns about. That's a nice comfort since they know difficult child and can see that it is not your parenting causing him to have reading issues, duh. I find it so interesting for them to put him back and forth in those reading support types of programs yet hold to their assertion that he has no school issues. I can see them saying the issues haven't risen to the level required to have special education services but we do see he struggles in this area so we are going to monitor every three months or we understand this is frustrating but we have guidelines blah blah (which still would be frustrating but at least far more honest). Gosh I am just so sorry. If he has Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) issues you might be cautious that the ENT clinic may not show much of a level of concern, or that they could say that his issues would not cause this kind of issue... (they may be focused on what they have treated only). Actually the on and off hearing issues that come with a conductive hearing loss-middle ear problems like difficult child has had (along with the fact that kids who have that sometimes dont feel well on and off) are associated with phonological issues, reading problems, processing problems, etc. So, it could be full Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) issues, or issues related to his middle ear issues, etc. The accommodations and remediation in many ways will need to be the same. His brain has to learn to interpret the sounds, pull out the important sounds/words etc. Doctor/ENT clinics are typically more concerned with the mechanical function of hearing sounds. Of course there are always exceptions, your people may be fully up on the whole picture. If it turns out they do not appreciate your concerns at the same level you are showing, maybe try calling around to Audiology Clinics or asking the district Audiologist who other parents use--who specialize in Auditory Processing Disorders (APD)'s--could be the best source.

Keep your armor polished and handy, sounds like you may need it over the years, sigh. Big hugs to you and difficult child. [/QUOTE]
