[quote=Anonymous]Our 1st grader's school is holding a volunteer screening for kids at his school and his teacher has recommended this screening for him.  She did not go into detail about some of the developmental concerns he may have but I have some ideas.  He has trouble paying attention and following instructions.  His K report card reflected those issues.  He is an active, energetic, kind, and sociable which is all basically normal for his age (6yr old) but what this screening apparently will do is if the behaviors start to interfere with learning and participation in daily life, intervention can be helpful.

Is anyone familiar with this screening?  I'm wondering if the 1st grade teacher should have talked to us first of any behavioral concerns instead of going through this therapy screening. I feel like if this was such a concern for her she should've have spoken with us unless this will provide a better/effective way through this service.  If the screening does determine he may need intervention I'm not sure what kind of recommendations it will offer.  Oh by the way, he goes to a private school. [/quote]
