[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 679337, member: 11791"] Wow, you have your hands full. For a minimum, you have a child with sensory issues. She probably feels every little thing, and these drive her crazy all day long. Others have suggested a comprehensive evaluation - whether done by a specialist in comprehensive testing, or by a team, it will require several appointments and 6-10 hours of testing. There will be good information coming out of this. But in the mean time, I would also suggest getting an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation. An Occupational Therapist (OT) can test for a range of challenges, with motor skills and sensory issues being two of them. The Occupational Therapist (OT) also has therapies and interventions that help these issues. And it's usually a lot faster to get in to Occupational Therapist (OT) than to a comprehensive evaluator. Be aware that most comprehensive evaluators will take the Occupational Therapist (OT)'s report into consideration as well. We had to pay out-of-pocket for Occupational Therapist (OT), but it was worth it. Heads up on the socialization... she may not be doing as well as you think, and it won't show up until later. Even comprehensive evaluators miss this, because a girl can be fairly impaired, and still have better social skills than a perfectly normal, neurotypical boy. And most of the cut-offs are based on worst-case, not gender-specific case. been there done that. [/QUOTE]
