[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those that had playground observations done...how many times did the evaluator observe?  I'm concerned that one observation might give a slanted picture, given how much variation there can be from day to day in how kids play.[/quote]

OP- I'm the pp who suggested the recess observation. The school provided a routine speech and language screening to all the students. DS was flagged for a full language evaluation, which turned up some issues- part of that evaluation included classroom and recess observations.

The recess amd classroom observation showed deficits in social pragmatics. DS is currently enrolled in a social skills therapy group. I felt that the language results warranted a full neuropsych- we did that later in the school year and it showed that DS has ADHD. I wouldn't be surprised if the ADHD diagnosis eventually morphs into a HFA diagnosis. I've been reading "Bright, Not Broken" and it seems like the author could be talking directly to me about my son.

FWIW, we really saw the social issues kick in during 2nd. Kids develop more advanced social understanding around this age- it was clear DS was different, whereas in K, he was different, but the other kids were so immature it didn't stand out as much. [/quote]
