[QUOTE="Patrice, post: 290714, member: 7718"] Thanks for the BIG welcome... I truly have felt for the past year that the only thing left to do was give up with a white flag above my head. My son was diagnosed, initially by pediatrician, but last year I had a psychological evaluation done by by a licenced psychologist at the request of this therapist :rolleye: (about a three hour test) which came back with a diagnosis of ADHD and depression. I have requested a new test be given next month which is scheduled. His new psychiatrist who specializes in children with ADHD wants a complete psychological battery, which she will be doing prior to the 504 meeting. I'm not sure what the difference is between this and a neurophysch. I have made the decision to find a new therapist, if for no other reason that if you're not on Team Brendan, get out of the game. It's frustrating trying to find someone though. I'm thinking perhaps a man rather than a woman. Any tho'Tourette's Syndrome on whether this has been useful to anyone else. The thing that bugs me is that he is a very good kid and seems to be making an effort at home, but school frustrates him. He's not particularly hyper. As a teacher myself, I've seen hyper! He's not even the worst kid in his class. The amount of work and pressure of it gets worse every year. His second grade teacher was FROM HELL and last year, although she was a great teacher, expected too much of the kids. He shuts down when he becomes overwhelmed (classic ADHD). He can't take what's in his head and write it down fast enough for everyone. He's failing math and reading for this reason. He can't pass their timed tests.

Thanks again for making me feel like this is truly a place where I will be welcome. [/QUOTE]
