[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 440718, member: 11791"] MWM - your challenge lies in finding someone who is looking for "an explanation for what is happening" rather than "a diagnosis". You don't have a "killer-diagnosis" here. No one thing explains what is going on. But if you truly believe that kids do well "if they can" (rather than "if they want to"), then attitude is not the cause of the problem - she may have some "attitude" now, because of past experience - but [U]there is a reason[/U]. And it sounds like you feel that way too. I don't know how you find these people. We landed ONE - on our last round, after 9 years of trying to find answers - and went from maybe 40% of an explanation to about 80%... still not good enough, but a huge step forward. The key? They have to look at the [U]interplay [/U]between various marginal issues. Each one, stand-alone, "should not" be a problem. But taken together... they are. Either the anxiety is much more extreme than is being documented, OR... its working memory, etc. being compounded by anxiety. Or add a few other marginal things in there... But HOW to get someone on your side with that??? That's the $64 question I don't have an answer for. p.s. - on Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) - MOST who test for this, are looking for [U]language difficulties;[/U] this might or might not be applicable... no issue with testing for that as well, but you can test perfectly on the language side, and STILL have auditory processing issues - there are separate, newer tests for auditory discrimination etc. Might not apply in this case - but just because "she gets tested for Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD)" doesn't mean she's been tested for the rest of it.
