[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 70781, member: 3647"] Thank you for taking the time to share that information with me, Babbs. I so appreciate it. Here is my situation. We are on Medicaid. I have not been able to locate an Occupational Therapist (OT) that takes that. I realize that my difficult child is holding it together very well in school and saving her GFGness for me. She did have an issue last year, where she had to be put in a "special" reading class because she was behind the other students in letter recognition. This was not behavioral, but one could argue that her sensory overload prevented her from learning in the class like everyone else. A stretch, yes, but I thought I'd give it a shot. This request for an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation was actually done at the end of last school year. Now, at the beginning of this school year, I am asking for a complete evaluation. Not because I think she has problems in the school, but because I think that her diagnosis is incorrect or incomplete. I asked difficult child's psychiatrist for a referral and this is what he gave me. The scholl finally told me yesterday (her first day) that they would observe her and call me in for a meeting in 2 weeks. See, I really have no idea what the heck I am doing. Thank the good Lord above for this site. [/QUOTE]
