[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 553100, member: 11791"] Has he ever had an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation? That would pick up sensory problems - and motor skills issues, as milder issues are often missed until well into school (grade 2 or so). And then... Can I challenge your thinking on Auditory Processing Disorders (APD)? I do not question that your son doesn't have language processing difficulties... as a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP), you'd be picking up on that really fast. But... is your home fairly quiet? The reason I ask is... ours is (and was) a quiet home. My difficult child started into major problems in Grade 1... and after 10 years of work and research and testing... he has an Auditory Processing Disorders (APD): auditory figure ground. People with this disorder have difficulty filtering out background noise, focusing on the "important" sounds. Kids playgrounds are notoriously noisy... and the kid who can't figure out what is going on, may react in unexpected ways. Classrooms are just as bad... not from obvious noise, but because there is so much white noise built into the environment... rustling paper, the scratch of pencils and crayons, sharpener, the heater... Just wanted to toss this into your thoughts, because if we could have caught this in Grade 1 when it showed up... I highly doubt I would ever have needed to find this board. [/QUOTE]
