[quote=Anonymous]PP here.  You asked about evaluation.  I found that going to my pediatrician was a good first start.  It helped give some direction and it helped verbalize/conceptualize the problems.  I then had a neuropsych eval done.  After that, I returned to the ped who prescribes medication.  I've also done a lot of reading and educating myself about strategies for dealing with the issues/problems that my son has, which are not unlike your son.  Because of some health issues, we also have to have a cardiologist involved with prescriptions.

As to having the school evaluate, I found it more effective to do this on my own and then to work with the school to get the services and accommodations that my son needs.  My son was diagnosed early on.  But, one thing I found was that the last year or two of ES are really critical to getting student skills (which is how I categorize what you are talking about) at the level they need to be to be successful in MS.  For example, in ES, there is staff to help your child pack a backpack and write down homework assignments.  In MS, I'm not saying it is impossible to get this, but it's not easy and not consistent.  There are many other things, but I'm just trying to make the point that big changes to the way educations occurs happens when you transition to MS.  [/quote]
