[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please don't request a medical/psychological evaluation just because one teacher is annoyed by your child.  If your child had a genuine special need, it would affect every area of his life.  It would show up in virtually every arena of interactions with adults.  It would make learning impossible in all educational arenas.

If this teacher is unable to deal with your child, ask her how she plans to adjust.  Your child may be different in six months.[/quote]

That is absolutely not true. There are different levels of severity, plus at home we often unconsciously accommodate our children. For example, my child cannot have a conversation unless he is running around in circles. Fine at home, not fine at school. That doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist, just that we accommodate at home.

Learning is rarely "impossible" in "all" areas. For example, my child loves math and soaks it up without really trying. So his attention problems don't affect him as much. Reading is a much bigger challenge (he also has dyslexia), so not being able to focus on reading instruction is a big problem.[/quote]
