[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 518906, member: 13003"] Sorry, I don't get to log in here very often... Noticed this in your post... You are quite right that there can be other things at work than ADD. And boredom is one. Another one is... APDs. A kid can have perfectly fine hearing, and perfectly fine language processing... and still have "hearing" problems... and no, it isn't a "listening problem" either. Issues with auditory figure ground, for example, will create symptoms that look exactly like ADD/ADHD in the classroom. But the approaches that work for ADD/ADHD do not work for APDs... including medications. What kinds of options are available for a comprehensive evaluation? Ideally, outside of school? [/QUOTE]
