[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would get a full neuropsych evaluation. I know several kids whose teachers said they were doing just fine in the classroom but who turned out to have some kind of learning difference or other issue. An evaluation can help rule out ADHD, LDs, anxiety, depression, etc. and then guide your interventions or supports.[/quote] OP, you've gotten some good advice to get a neuropsych test. Like others, you described my ADD inattentive, yet very bright, sensitive kid to a T. He became so miserable that we were afraid he would hurt himself. He is now a happy kid who is doing well in school - thanks to zoloft for anxiety, neuropsych testing, ADD meds and some supports at school. Good luck! [/quote]
