[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here -- thanks, and keep coming with the recommendations.  He's been in OT for almost a year, and seeing specialists for the wetting issues for several months now.  We're also on various waitlists for a neuropsych evaluation.  I'd "wait and see" (although I've been waiting and seeing for a year now...) except that the private school applications seem to be due in January, and we'd need to have him take some IQ test or something to be considered.  If anyone has suggestions for specific behavioral therapists, I'll take those too.[/quote]

OP, I really think you should consider delaying a year even for private kindergarten.  It's not just the IQ test but most schools require a play date too to get accepted.

Even if he does get accepted, social skills are [b]critical[/b].   You don't want him ostracized b/c he's disruptive or known as the kid who's always wetting his pants.  He doesn't sound ready for K, maybe a junior kindergarten?

I'm not sure how you ruled out autism without an assessment but I think your gut is telling you something--that there's more going on here and waiting it out isn't working.  It may not be autism, but I agree with with PP, go for a neuropsych evaluation.  I wouldn't rule out SN schools until you know for sure.[/quote]
