[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 478659, member: 13003"] Not trying to stir the pot, here, but... I see major red flags with two of the points the teacher made, even if the teacher doesn't see it! There is a very high chance that this is related to ADHD, Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), or both. The two can look very similar, AND can co-exist. But I'd be guessing Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) is more likely. There are a number of different APDs... anything from trouble making sense of verbal language, to not being able to pick up the important sounds if there is background noise (like teacher's voice in classroom). This means... they do not receive the instructions, so have to "follow" what the other kids do. been there done that. Major, major red flag... and from what I understand, almost always MISSED by schools. THIS is a major red flag for motor skills issues... Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation is probably called for. Problems with coloring is often a precursor to problems with writing... how is he with scissors? tieing shoes? using knife and fork? dressing? what about gross motor skills like riding a bike, throwing a ball? If there is ANY hint of a motor skills issue, the sooner you can get Occupational Therapist (OT) interventions, the better (they didn't tell us, and it was almost non-available at that point anyway, but... sure wish we had.) Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) [I]is a developmental issue[/I]. It is suspected that Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), on some level, is too. What she probably means is that he likely (in her opinion) not going to be Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). That might be closer to the truth. But the less-severe developmental issues are just as important to catch... and are more likely to be missed. Just something to think about. We saw the same issues at that age, and even tried to get help. We were told - by school and medical staff - that we were "just over-anxious parents". NOT. Still undoing the damage years later. Including significant secondary issues (like depression and anxiety) that do NOT need to come into play at all. [/QUOTE]
