[quote=Anonymous]Yikes on the pediatrician who told the parents of an ADHD/LD kid to "watch and wait". Earlier is better for intervention, particularly if you suspect SLD. 2nd grade is old enough for a full neuropsych and your pediatrician should have told you to get one ASAP. A school will *never* tell parents they suspect a certain diagnosis (even if they do). They will just wait until he is so far behind or getting into such trouble that he either gets bad grades or gets in trouble. Then they will tell you he is not that smart and disobediant and you are a helicopter parent who can't accept that their own kid is less than perfect. You are a parent. You know your kid best. If you at all suspect ADHD or SLD, get your kid properly assessed, don't wait for someone else's permission or suggestion. You are the expert in your kid. [/quote]
