[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child was having trouble with reading and writing and was seeing a therapist for social issues.  We did testing, which suggested anxiety.  After starting Zoloft and then adding in Focalin over the summer, he made huge strides in reading, and now loves to read. This is after being labeled below grade level as recently as May by the school.  As of September, he is considered in line with the class. My point being, start with the meds and see how that goes. We didn't think it would affect reading but clearly it did. [/quote]

OP again.  We are likely starting her on Zoloft this week.  That was a discussion that DH and I had (should we wait a couple of months for the meds before paying for testing?) and will have to discuss.  Perhaps we'll start the process with the school and start her on the meds.  We already know she has anxiety but I am curious to see if any LD or processing issues come up, so the school evaluation should be sufficient.

Honestly, I had no idea the testing was upwards of $3-4k.  I was thinking more like $1500-2000.  Shows how much I know. :)[/quote]
