[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP - I have a 4th grader with ADHD/Inattentive type. Exec functioning, expressive and receptive language delay. No Dyslexia or dysgraphia.  I am so shocked that you've been having a tough time getting teachers and DH on board. Your son must be so miserable just trying to keep it together without any accomodations.  Poor guy!

My DS was DX'd in kindergarten.  We had a thorough neuro-psych eval done. it was tough on him as he was a little guy. 3 days. a few hours per day.  I don't feel comfortable referring you to the person we went to as I did not care for him. I can tell you however that I have read great things about Stixrud. Also, Kennedy Krieger and Children's.  There are a ton of people out there that will chime in to your post Im sure - who will be able to give you more names.

As for advise - stay on top of this issue. Be the squeaky wheel at home and at school. Don't let the teachers get away with anything. Once you have the results of your neuro psych eval, set up a meeting to get your DS on and IEP or at the very least a 504. 
Find a tutor who specializes in LD kids, and keep that number handy and there's a pretty dard good chance you'll need it.
