[quote=Anonymous]OP from what you've written I am so surprised that your DS was not flagged by his teachers already - years ago!

Yes, get him evaluated right away.  You are doing him a disservice by not getting him evaluated and getting him the appropriate accommodations and help he obviously needs. If you want him to be successful going forward in school and life in general, get him the help he needs.

Insurance? the only places that will take insurance are Childrens Hospital and Kennedy Kreiger (KKI), which is part of Hopkins in Baltimore.  Long wait list for both, so just get on the wait lists.  Other than that, bite the bullet and pay out of pocket to get your son evaluated. Yes it will run you $4K, but in the long run you will be happy you did it.  Ask yourself - 10 years from now will you be kicking yourself for NOT spending the $4K to get him properly evaluated.

Step 1: call Children's and KKI - get on both wait lists
Step 2: call a few private psychologists and get on their wait lists. 
Step 3: take a deep breath, it will all be oK :)
