[QUOTE="LHB, post: 282196, member: 7606"] Hello Everybody! I just registered on this site and I'm glad I found you guys! I'm looking for some support/help/advice in dealing with my 10.5 daughter. She shows definite signs of ADD-Inattentive as well as Sensory Intergration Disfunction - two terms I hadn't explored until 6 months ago. But, as I started putting pieces together and doing some research, she fits the description for both of these areas. Last week I took her to the pediatrician who had me take the Vanderbilt assessment to her teachers. They came back showing there was little to no issues with her behavior/attention. She really doesn't exhibit it at school (maybe because she's so focused on specific tasks, or gets lost in the crowd?) and her grades are good because she's a conscientious kid and I help ALOT with homework. I'm sure I'm the smartest 4th grader in her class! So, I hit a wall. Since she isn't what I would classify as 'disabled' by this I don't feel it's necessary for me to do an all out campaign to pursue it with all kinds of doctors just to get the answer I want. Yet, I am still dealing with a child who requires constant attention at home, zones out, drags her feet, etc, etc. And, I'm worried about how she's going to function as school gets a little harder each year. (And I return to work and don't have the time to write a report on Brazil!) Anybody hear of a child who exhibits symptoms more strongly in one environment than others? Any suggestions as to where I can go from here? [/QUOTE]
