[QUOTE="SlipperySlope, post: 413719, member: 11389"] Thank you both for the thoughtful replies. I can certainly appreciate the timing of this change in C coinciding with lots of changes. However, I would classify him as brilliant academically. Though he's a classic underachiever who thinks if he shows he's capable of performing a task once, anyone asking him for a repeat performance is just being ridiculous. His reading ability is post high school. His memory is near photogenic. So, Learning Disability (LD)'s have never been considered. This would probably be a good time for me to ask C's step mother to join this discussion. Besides being involved in this struggle since C was 2, she's a middle school teacher. At his school, no less. Her input about his education will be way more insightful. Who makes the neuropsychologist referral (therapist? psychiatrist? pediatrician?)? We have a child evaluation center here in town. It's where we went for help when C was tiny. They diagnosis'ed his Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) and were unable to definitively answer his then PT/Occupational Therapist (OT)/speech therapists questions about his regression. Personally, I found them to be inept. Getting insurance to cover it probably won't be easy or enjoyable. Thanks again for being helpful! [/QUOTE]
