[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, I am a school psychologist. I would qualify for him for SLD based on these scores, although SLD does have a rule out where behavior has to be considered, and  I'd want to to know about test behavior during reading tasks and how the attention impacts him, but the rapid naming deficit in particular definitely stands out as a weakness.

Thanks! I was *thinking* he would qualify, but I'm just so nervous and worried about what might happen if he *doesn't* qualify.  I think a big part of it, is that I don't feel like I can trust his school team.  They have continually given him satisfactory grades because of his hard work and his desire to please others, but academically.....he has always been behind in reading.  He's had more than 2 years of school-based interventions, reading tutor, and previously went to preschool and is always read to by parents who have college degrees, ect.

His ADHD symptoms are actually pretty well controlled during class because of his medication and his hard work (he falls apart after school and he's gotten in trouble several times at school due to impulsivity and several times on the school bus, and eloped several times from the after-school building in kindergarten before we medicated him.  No eloping since kindergarten, but he's still gotten in trouble, I think 3 times this school year due to impulsivity.  His teachers said that he is a very hard worker, he actively participates, he tries his best, he is very social with peers (which is when he is most distracted), but is willing to try most things.  He is most hesitant to try reading on his own and seeks out his teachers more than others, but he definitely gives it 100%.
