My difficult child age 4yrs. 11 mos. is starting kindergarten in the fall. He was seen at Childrens hospital.in Philadelphia this past week and was diagnosed with 1) ADHD- combined 2) ODD 3) visual-motor integration problems. My question is this: The doctor that saw him told me to request a psychoeducational evaluation and Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation/services through the school district. I (thanks, Alisha) pulled up a sample request letter from the archives but am a little confused by the terminology. Is a psychoeducational evaluation the same as a multidisciplinary evaluation. I want to get my letter off to the school district and get the ball rolling, but do not want to appear half-cocked if i have the wrong terminology. Also, because it is summer do the same timelines for testing/ evaluations hold true?
Thanks,
Heather
