[quote=Anonymous]OP,

Based on the issues that you described that he was facing in third grade,

"the inability to make eye contact, unwillingness to answer her questions (when directly asked), poor organization, he wouldn’t turn in homework, or wasn’t organized enough to find it..."

have only gotten worse.  Kudos to the one teacher for using a rewards chart.  However, it obviously wasn't enough.  I think he needs more than just learning how to stay organized (although that would help).

Go ahead with a private neuropsych evaluation.  You don't necessarily have to share the results with the school, and you don't necessarily have to have a 504 or IEP although it sounds like he needs one.

Your husband is obviously holding on to some fears, which is understandable.  But how can you help your son if you're not even sure what the issues are?  If you suspected he had a tumor, your husband would be okay with getting an MRI, right?  The brain is an organ too and there are lots of complexities we don't understand.  However, there are some basic things you can do (like the testing).

The time for hand wringing and self-blame is over.  Take action![/quote]
