[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 504911, member: 13003"] You are a teacher. This means that on one hand, you are "only" a teacher - you can't go putting labels on kids, etc., only the psychiatrists and other such professionals can do that. On the other hand, you are a TEACHER - and this means that your voice gets heard where a parent's voice might not. If you have the interest, time and energy to do so, you might want to familiarize yourself with some of the subtle challenges these kids can face. If YOU are raising questions, somebody else might listen and act... on things that otherwise are being missed. You'll already be familiar with the learning disabilities. There's the motor skills set of issues. A good source for information on this is: [url=http://www.canchild.ca]CanChild Centre for Childhood Disability Research[/url] There are APDs - from the classical Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) which you probably would catch, to the more subtle ones like auditory figure ground. Don't get too involved in the details of this so much as... watch out for the kid who has "normal" language but... just isn't getting it... typically, will "look like" an ADHD case - lack of focus, carelessness, etc. Watch for the child does well one-on-one and poorly in the classroom...
