[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 3 kids who have struggled at various times. None are just like your child but I will share my experience.  My MS son tested at an IQ of 98 and was diagnosed with LD and borderline ADHD in 3rd grade. Retested in late 5th after lots of remediation wirh an IQ of 123 and no ADHD. He was extremely upset and had shutdown when tested at 8. He was a very different child at 11. My youngest (9) has resolved apraxia/dyspraxia and has far exceeded any and all expectations. At 5, he couldn't communicate clearly and had significant motor planning issues that affected handwriting and coordination. He did years and years of ST and OT from age 2-7. Nobody who meets him today would ever guess. My oldest has ADHD and tested with an IQ of 100. She is now a HS student with a 3.7 in all honors classes in a highly regarded MCPS school. Clearly her IQ score was not valid.

Nobody can predict the future. I had so many sleepless nights worrying about each of my children. I wish I'd had a crystal ball. [/quote]

I am PP who said Im with OP and so emotionally exhausted...this is amazing to hear! My ds has motor planning issues and dyspraxia and this just gave me hope, so thank you for that!! Ive struggled finding the right speech therapist- any pointers on that? How many days per week did you do speech/ot during those years for your child with dyspraxia?[/quote]
