[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is processing for sure. You should seek a neuro psych exam independently from the school as those have limitations. These can be quite costly so try and get on WL at KKI and children's but that could take a year plus. I'd really try to get a private evaluation if you can afford it. In the meantime I'd get a speech and language evaluation and an OT evaluation. A child going into MS should be able to use a ladder to get in and out of the pool even if always helped to do it.

Did the pool have a ladder?  I thought the description meant pulling himself up at the side of the pool, using his arms, then either kneeling or sitting on the edge before standing. (Awkward description, I know.) If so, this could be about insufficient upper body strength, or difficulties planning and carrying out a relatively complex task requiring gross motor skills. In any case, most kids his age would be able to do this.  I think the recommendations are good ones, especially OT, which isn’t routinely done. I would also recommend KKI.
