[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 451952, member: 11847"] The LSP did not test for phonemic awarness (I was there when she did the test, and it was just about understanding language). The appointment with the audiologist is AFTER the school evaluation but BEFORE the psychiatric. evaluation. (just made the appointment!) As far as the therapist: she is a Licensed Professional Counselor at the Masters level. That is all there is in my area, as well as Social Workers (Masters as well). She has all those diagnosis listed on my difficult child's file, but she was actually kind of upfront with me about it. She said she was not super comfortable with it, it is not a perfect fit but she can't treat him without a diagnosis. My son likes her and he does make progress on what they are working on (identifying his feeling and when he needs to go and use his cool down spot). She also agrees that the ODD is not his primary issue. On his strenght, she listed: sweet and loving and wants to please adults (among other things). To me, that does not describe a typical case of ODD. She said my son was such an interesting and complex case... I'm glad she finds him interesting, but it does not give us the answers we all want. If the school would just care enough, I know my son could strive and do wonderful things. I feel it's just a matter of finding the right teaching method. [/QUOTE]
