[QUOTE="I'm going crazy!!!, post: 95219, member: 4280"] My son was originally diagnosis with ADHD by his pediatrician tried over 8 different medications then he went to day camp this summer and we (teacher & I) decided we couldn't tell a difference when he took medications and didn't take medications so we took him off. Then we got his final report card Kindergarten so they evaluate based on above average, average, below average, & well below average in 3 areas; math, reading, & writing. In 2 areas he was below average in 1 he was well below average so we took him to a psychologist and had him cognative tested and then we had an education specialist test him and we discovered that he had a Learning Disability (LD) mostly with reading & memory. He is in Kindergarten again this year I LOVE HIS TEACHER!!!!!!! but during memorial weekend we were trying the patch and he had an allergic reaction so while i had him at the dr for a check up just to make sure the reaction wasn't too serious we were lucky enough to end up with a lady dr. who use to be a Special Education teacher and she said if the school refuses to evaluate your child you can have him privately evaluated and sue the school for reimbursement (not sure if this is a state or federal law) now we didn't sue we were just happy to have people start to listen to us but he does have a new principle this year the principle from last year said that if Chris could get himself together then he felt difficult child could be a productive and successful first grader what an idiot the child is 6 hello anyway sorry it's so long but that's what i've found out just be sure your state allows you to make the school test him before you start threatining or paying out of pocket for tests here the educational test was $500.00 but luckily difficult child insurance covered everything but $200 [/QUOTE]
