[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 498742, member: 11847"] V does NOT have an IEP. My school district does NOT seem very good with special need kids, even when the behavior is obvious and disrupting (which is not the case for V, but it is the case for one of my friend's grandson). Their favorite motto is "let's wait and see". I can see already that V will need special accomodations if we want him to learn. Otherwise he gets overwhelmed and shuts down or disconnect from the group. The one on one attention is vital for his learning. I am honestly worried about what will happen when there are real expectations in Kindergarten. I don't believe a diagnosis of anxiety will be much help in school and overall communication. His therapist told me last week that my biggest help will be autism ressources. She actually is the one that suggested TEACHH. V had his first Occupational Therapist (OT) session with the new therapist last week. He was perfect and no difficulties. She even said "no way, V is not that safe all the time and does not take directions that well all the time!". She had seen him during our first meeting when he was playing with his brother: jumping all over, refusing any input from his brother, etc... Occupational Therapist (OT) actually wants to "use" Partner during therapy in order to reveal V's difficulties.At least, SHE saw V's 2 sides. Maybe I should call teachh and explain why I think Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) is the right diagnosis? It just sounds so arrogant to say that when I am obviously no expert in the matter...
