[QUOTE="Lost_in_BC, post: 230713, member: 6599"] The only evaluation he has had done was at BC Childrens hospital. It is called a Multidisciplinary Integrated Assessment Report. I will quote afew of the things mentioned below. [I][B]Quote[/B][/I] Braxton is a sociable boy has a complex developmental profile that suggests severe neurobehavioral deficets related to probable central nervous system dysfunction according to criteria delined by Chudley et al. (2005). He thus meets the criteria for a complex developmental behavior condition, and can be expected to need considerable supports in all contexts for the forseeable future. There is evidence of severe dysfunction across a number of neurbehavioral domains inculding, [B]Cognition[/B]: Although his cognitive abilities are generally in the low average range, He showed a significant and unusual subtest discrepency that is found in less than %2 of the population. He also a statistically significant difference between the 2 subtests of the Working Memory Index of the WISC-IV, although this degree of discrepency is less rare. [B]Communication[/B]: Braxtons core language abilities were in the average to high range, but his receptive language abilities were more than a standard deviation lower than his expressive language abilities, suggesting that he probably says more than he knows. His phonological memory was below average, more than two standard deviations below his core language score. He thus showed significant between-domain discrepencies in his language function. Braxton experiences more difficulty with more abstract language for both comprehension and expression. His ability to formulate a cohersive story was significantly lower than his expressive core language skills on the CELF-4. [B]Academic Achievement[/B]: Braxton has global delays in his academic skills, with his written Language and Total Composite Scores falling more than 2 standard deviations below what would be predicted by his Vocal Comprehension Index Score on the WISC-IV and more than 2 standard deviations below the mean for his age. There was also significant difference in between hismath reasoning skills and his numerical operations. [B]Memory[/B]: Braxtons memory abilities are generally in the average range, but his auditory rote memory is sigificantly weaker (in keeping with his phonological memory). [B]Executive function[/B]: On tests of executive function, Braxton had difficulty both maintaining and shifting cognitive set. He also has difficulties with verbal abstraction that was evident in both cognitive and language testing. [B]Attention Deficet/ Hyperactivity[/B]: Braxton has longstanding difficulties with attention, concentration and impulse control, in keeping with his diagnosis of ADHD. [B]Discharge Diagnosis[/B]: These include ADHA combined type, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Learning Disorder not otherwise specified. I have no reason to think the diagnosis was incorect. I have no experience with this other than my day to day life with him. There is depression and anxiety on both sides of the family and that has been noted. No other history of mental illness in the family. [/QUOTE]
