[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 260806, member: 3444"] Ditto on the need for a comprehensive evaluation. If you don't have insurance or cannot afford the testing, you can request one in writing from her school, and even if they don't think she has a problem, they have to do it. Depending on the outcome of the testing, she may end up with a referral to county mental health for further assessment. There are lots of websites that can give you specifics on how to word a letter requesting evaluation from a school district, and if you go to our Special Education forum here, you can post more questions about the specifics for how to proceed. Another option is to contact the county you live in directly to find out what free services they might have. Or perhaps a local children's hospital can direct you to resources for families in financial situations like yours. I'm sorry you are having to deal with a child that has obvious issues on top of a stressful economic situation. You are right to be concerned, and I applaud you for caring and seeking out help for her. Welcome to the board! [/QUOTE]
