[QUOTE="caryatid, post: 103653, member: 4372"] I can't say that the public school did *nothing*, they just moved very very slowly, and solved his "problem" by basically having a teacher hold his hand all day and feed him answers. His grades were always pretty good (Bs), but he wasn't learning anything- including how to control his own body without an adult hovering over him. I'm taking his brother to the Dr today, so I will be able to talk to his pediatrician and see what we can do. As for speech delays- when he was younger, he has chronic ear infections, which made his speech regress for a while, but once the ears were treated, it all cleared up. No other speech problems. Thank you all for the links and book recommendations. I have no objection to doing my homework, I just had no idea where to start. [img]:smile:[/img] Oh, and I forgot to clarify my stance on medications. I'm not completely against them, nor do I have anything against people who make that choice. I just want to make sure that medications would be the right solution before taking them. I've had two students in my class that could have easily been medicated- it turns out in both cases the children had un-diagnosed allergies. I just want to cover or rule out all natural/biological/environmental options and possibilities. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
