[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 525028, member: 11791"] Me = broken record. Forgive me if I've said this to you before, but... 1) 11 yo 2) ADHD 3) things are going downhill Am I correct so far? Then... chances are sky high that you're dealing with some of the things that frequently go along with ADHD... and you haven't found them yet. 1) 50% of people with ADHD, have Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). Even subtle fine motor skills problems can be deadly at school! 2) LDs are extremely co-morbid with ADHD 3) 70% of people with ADHD and a Learning Disability (LD)... have Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) So... why NOW? because right about now is when school makes a major shift - and there are lots of kids who fly under the radar through the early grades, and then hit the wall in grade 4 or 5 or 6. They can't fake it anymore. And they can't do the work. It shows up as "attitude" and "behavior". In reality? It's a cry for help. Has he ever had an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation for sensory and motor skills issues? And an Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) for auditory processing - full spectrum, including auditory figure ground. [/QUOTE]
