[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 45936, member: 84"] Alison The only way I can answer is what I'd do if he were my child. If I was already at 3 seeing signs that suggest a potential problem I'd go for the neuropsychologist evaluation as soon as you can get it. Why? Because if there are things you're already picking up on there may be many other areas your untrained eye is missing in which he may need help. An the sooner interventions can be put into place the better the results can be. Plus I know it doesn't seem like it now but school isn't too far off in the distance. It would be better for difficult child if you could have all your ducks in a row by the time kindergarden rolls around. That way You know what you're dealing with and so does the school. It will get difficult child off to a good start. Now just for me, I'd also have a neurologist evaluation done for my own peace of mind. I'd want to know, if possible, why difficult child is having problems with speech and to make sure no neuro issues were being missed. by the way has he ever had a hearing test? But I'm a stickler for details. If I have a child showing difficulties in one area or more, I tend to get as much checked out as possible physically, developmentally, and behaviorally. You never know what might be being overlooked..... something could be at present excused as age related until other factors are added in for example..... and I'd kick myself later for missing it.
