Nearly. My ex-preemie had a global developmental delay and was enrolled at a Montessori preschool, where he could not follow directions or seem to understand anything... until the director took him under her wing and really started customizing instruction for him. It could have gone both ways. I was ready for her to say that he had to leave, but this wonderful woman instead decided to go above and beyond to cater to his needs. Years later he was diagnosed with severe ADHD and several other things. My son is now 16 and is doing very well - I remember this Montessori teacher fondly and I'm so grateful for her efforts. She passed away recently and we are sending flowers and donations in her honor.

All this to say that this is a blessing in disguise, OP. Place him where he will be valued and well treated. If he has not yet been evaluated, perhaps your doctor can recommend someone. Just be aware that there is a waiting list for the most in-demand psychologists and developmental pediatricians. From your description, there might be some ADHD going on, but maybe other thing as well. Also keep in mind that 6 is very young, and if he receives a diagnosis, it might change or become more specific over time.
