[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 553246"] If the private school gets ANY federal money, they HAVE to follow an IEP or do the evaluations to determine need. If it's 100% privately paid by you, then I don't know if there's anything you can do. I'm with the others as far as specialists. I will qualify my recommendation by saying that it needs to be a GOOD, reputable one. There are some not great ones that won't help at all. If you get a good one, they usually give great explanations and recommendations. That was our experience anyway. We found the best in our state. I'm not trying to diagnose but some of what you've said reminds me a LOT of my difficult child 1 and I never thought he was on the spectrum either but as he's gotten older, it's become much more obvious. If you think it MIGHT be a possibility, find an autism specialist to rule it in or out. My difficult child 1 has HUGE sensory issues that our Occupational Therapist (OT) was a great help with. By addressing these issues, he's learned to use some of the things to calm himself. But then again, we school at home now so he CAN. Schools are not equipped to handle some of these things much less help with them, at least not in our experience and at his age. Most of the things that work are not "age-appropriate" and could not be accommodated. I am very glad you stumbled into our family too. All advice and suggestions are always given with the best of intentions. Take what works, try what sounds like it might, ignore anything that doesn't. Also, your expertise will be appreciated. We do have another Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) here but she's having internet issues so doesn't check in as often right now. Again, I'm glad you're here and I hope you find this to be as great a support as I have for 2 years now. [/QUOTE]
