[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 511505, member: 11791"] Sounds like sensory integration may be something to pursue with an Occupational Therapist (OT)... but if you're going to be there anyway, I'd still be tempted to get motor skills tested... just to rule it out. And then... how about an Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) evaluation? I would NOT expect to find language processing problems, from the sounds of things - but he could still have auditory processing problems - such as auditory figure ground, where the brain doesn't filter background noise well, which means that the person does wonderful in a quiet room working one-on-one - and horrible in a classroom, fighting to "hear"... this is NOT a hearing problem, but a "making sense of what we hear" problem, Know what I mean?? And then... how is his sleep? both quantity and quality? Does he get up every single morning rested and ready to go? or... draggy. Hard to get to sleep? or asleep before head meets pillow? (both are a problem) Sleep problems make any other problem far worse, AND sleep problems alone can directly cause all sorts of behavior issues. [/QUOTE]
