[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 150308, member: 1991"] The speech pathologist had agreed to see him this afternoon but rang to cancel. We had a long talk over the phone about what she wants to test for and said she will moderate the tests as she progresses and discovers things. She thinks she will be able to test him on Monday or Tuesday. In the meantime, she asked me to email his teacher and invite her to have input, ask questions or add her own concerns to the list. I've done that, so now it's a matter of waiting. Because of the way the school system works, this teacher has a fairly large caseload and may not have the time to call the speech pathologist. I'm short of time at the moment, only grabbing a few minutes here or there, so when I can I'll talk to Marti about it. I have already searched online for answers (for easy child 2/difficult child 2) and not found anything sufficiently specific. I do vaguely recall a word game we have somewhere, which might help even more than Pictionary. He says he's completed his English work, but he closed the file so I need to open it and read it. I suspect he didn't do a thorough enough job and just guessed at some of it; I need to make him do it properly (which, of course, slows us down even more). Still, it's the only way he has a chance to learn. I'll keep you all posted. Marg [/QUOTE]
