[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 577807, member: 11791"] Start a parent report (see Susiestar's signature for the fastest way to find it...) It's a way to pull together everything you already know. Especially your own observations. I agree with TeDo... you need to focus on the childs missing skills and necessary accommodations and interventions, rather than diagnoses (when dealing with school). If you have the book "The Explosive Child", it has a nice check-list of missing skills that are often an issue... I hadn't noticed or thought of some of these at all, until I saw the list. He's too young to test for this yet, but if he is having trouble focusing in class... the problem may not be an ADHD-type focus problem... it could be an Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), especially the more subtle ones like auditory figure ground. Kids are usually about 7 before they can test for this, due to the complexity of the test. Might not hurt to have hearing screened, though... that can also be a problem. And any of these can be "on top of " ADHD etc. [/QUOTE]
