[quote=Anonymous]Op here.

DD had a neuropsych evaluation done the summer after 5th grade for inattentiveness, disorganization and time management and any learning disabilities.

At GE 5-9 she tested well above grade equivalent on the WIAT III abd WJ III.  Reading comprehension was 12-9 and math 7.4 so there are no academic concerns.  The data indicated mild or borderline ADHA inattentive type but given the mild nature, medication was not recommended at the time but accommodations to her learning were proposed and implemented.  (seating up front, quiet test area etc...)

She did have low working memory and processing speed percentiles and I see how it can be difficult to follow a fast classroom discussion and be able to organize thoughts fast enough to share before the topic has changed.  I wonder if her processing speed prevented her from participating early on in school that her current inability to participate is linked and learned behavior??

That;s why I am looking for suggestions like 16:36.

We are having another neuropsych evaluation  (+our insurance covers it 100%)  done in a few weeks by a different psychologist as DD had mentioned it being harder to concentrate in class.  I will bring up shyness/social anxiety with the psychologist.

THank you.
