[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 86339, member: 1722"] School districts are charged with the responsibility of finding children that need intervention from age 3 up. You need to dig deeper with the speech issues, in my opinion, chances are he was screened for articulation but not for any receptive speech problems. You need to send a certified letter to the Special Education director of your school district requesting a full & complete evaluation based on the presence of difficult child's developmental delays. You want this done now even though he may not be struggling greatly because you will have a baseline to compare to should he begin to struggle academically in the future. Let's see if I can remember everything Duckie was tested for... Observed in preschool setting (socialization) Psychological Exam (with input from parents & preschool teachers) audiology exam fine motor gross motor basic academic skills (identifying shapes, colors, etc) There may have been others that I can't remember right now. Her testing was done at age 4. While her psychological exam placed her in the clinical range (we went to a private therapist for behavior modification), her other tests placed her within normal limits. She was in the 23rd percentile for fine motor skills, but needed to be in the 17th to qualify for services from the school district. The good side of having had this testing done is that if she falls below her baseline established at age 4, I have a pretty good shot of arguing educational impact in the future. [/QUOTE]
