[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 451628, member: 1169"] Hi and Welcome. You are great for going after an evaluation while he is still in preschool!!! Some things I'd recommend: 1. Complete a "Parent Report" (see the link at the end of my signature). Be sure to include a list of your "Areas of Concern" and make sure they relate to his schooling. a. DS5 has difficulty understanding spoken languauge when there is background noise. b. Despite a strong vocabulary, DS5 does not seem to comprehend directions when give to the group. c. DS5 had instruction at XYZ day care as well as at home on his alphabet but has been unable to learn it but he has learned 9 sight words. d. DS5 can learn but only when the information is presented visually with 'hands-on' activities. 2. Ask the school to send either their psychiatric or their Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) to observe at the day care. 3. If the day care is also seeing the issues, ask their lead teacher to write a letter detailing some of the areas that he has issues. (You may want to meet with her and talk it through and jot down the areas that you are both worried about so that she has a starting point for the letter.) 4. Have the Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) that you saw write a report with her findings and her recommendation for "early childhood services to address suspected Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) and for a full Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) evaluation as soon as he turns 6 and the audiologist is willing to test him." If the school does not find him eligibile for special pre-k, they may still find him eligible for SL services. Also, if you can, look for a Montessori-style preschool, they are very hands on environment. [/QUOTE]
