[quote=Anonymous]Why did the teacher suggest an evaluation? It is definitely possible for a suboptimal classroom environment to make kids look like they have special needs. If your child seems to be functioning socially well at home, then I would suspect a classroom issue until you can rule that out. Although of course there could be something else going on, the classroom environment is one possible component to be considered. As long as there are no issues interfering with his functioning, I'd just go ahead and schedule an evaluation at Children's, which will be several months from now. By then, he'll be in a new classroom and the issue may have disappeared. If his NEXT teacher also identifies an issue, then you have more to go on. [/quote]
