[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, the Dr. told me he doesn't have ADHD or any LDs, but perfectionism, I'm assuming I can't get a 504 for perfectionism. Am I wrong? What can I do to help him when his processing speed is so low comparatively (2 std dev)?? He tests poorly when compared to his IQ. The only time he tests well is when he can take his time and is not in a group setting. I dread the though of him taking the SAT/ACT one day. He's young so we have years to worry about it or better yet correct it.[/quote]

You can get a 504 for an anxiety disorder. Perfectionism is related to anxiety.[/quote]

Thanks! I will talk to the Dr. who diagnosed her. The issue I have is he's a smart boy but bombed NNAT and CogAT (only timed tests I've known him to take). I don't mean did poorly, I mean bombed them for any kid let alone a kid with his IQ who does well in school. There will be plenty of exams he will take in life under pressure and he is just not fast. Same with writing assignments. He's meticulously slow at getting ideas onto paper. [/quote]
