[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 538962, member: 11791"] Well, others have already made most of my suggestions - comprehensive evaluation if you can, but also Occupational Therapist (OT) for sensory and motor skills, Speech Language Pathologist (SLP)/specialist audiolgist for Auditory Processing Disorders (APD)... This caught my attention, though: If his reading is great and his math is poor... how is his writing? If both writing and math are a problem - even PART of the time - it might be an indication of fine motor skills problems, which are a huge problem at school and it gets worse with each new grade. If he has some days when he does OK and others not... are you keeping a log? Is there any pattern? When we started keeping track, we saw obvious trends that were fatigue-based: morning was better than afternoon, Monday was better than Friday, September was better than December... or April! Our difficult child was dealing with a complex set of undiagnosed problems that were sapping his mental capacity faster than we could recharge him. If there is a fatigue factor, some of the things that can come into play are motor skills, Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), sensory issues, sleep issues... there's probably others. [/QUOTE]
