[QUOTE="Loony Smurf, post: 551988, member: 1695"] Thanks for the great responses folks. I need to ask the school to do an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation. Got it. Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), had to look that acronym up. difficult child 2 has had a psychiatric evaluation done, about a year ago. Turned out he is very slow to process things. like at the 5th percentile. his nonverbal language was also pretty low (don't remember off the top of my head). he also has a HUGE problem with inference, can't tell what is going on in pictures, or what the people in pictures are thinking. The poor kid is really clueless. He is also very emotionally immature, more on the level of a 9 year old. I dare say my 9 yr old is more mature. I was surprised the psychiatric didn't come up with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) because I really think it fits. He's got so many odditites and delays... There is another school here for troubled kids, plus the school district's alternative school. I think the school for more troubled kids is probably where he Needs to be but I don't have any idea what I'd have to do to get him in there. I guess maybe it will become an option if he's out of school too much. [/QUOTE]
