[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should:
- request a child find screening from the school district
- if they decline to evaluate get a private occupational therapy evaluation and start services. Then after a few months consult with the therapist to see if she needs further evaluation and ask what the main concerns are

If the preschool is documenting behaviors they may be looking to counsel her out. If you need child care I would start looking for inclusive programs like Easter Seals or Karasik where teachers may have more experience and willingness to manage the behaviors.[/quote]

OP, I am this poster. It sounds like you already know this, but in case I am assuming wrong, don't take normal results on the ASQ as ruling out developmental issues. Pediatricians really don't spend enough time with children to rule out ADHD or similar issues. It is always okay to pursue child find screening and other evaluations on your own if you are worried. If preschool teachers are documenting behaviors, consider this very useful information to share with child find and other clinicians.[/quote]
