[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Couple of follow-up questions and answers. DC is a freshman at TJ, and grades are all over the place. Started with all A's in 1st qtr in everything except Math, but then as the year progressed grades have dipped in almost everything except PE. May finish the year with mostly B+ and some A-, but the main concern is Math and the inability to correct silly mistakes that keeps happening. A lot of it has to do with organizational skills and study habits, both are nearly non-existent in the sense that there is no pattern. Study happens along with all other things going on, such as chat, video, music, etc. We have tried many things, but nothing has worked as a long term solution.

We don't know if this is related to ADHD or ADD, there is no hyper behavior or complains from any teachers / students ever so far. That makes it very hard to figure out. However, we have noticed several unusual things over the years to suspect something is different.

How do we go about testing / diagnosis? We have reached out to pediatrics and they have a behavior therapist who assist they said. Is this a good option? It is covered by insurance. Should we go this option or go with out of pocket expenses someone more prefessional. What are the types of tests that need to be conducted. [/quote]
