[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Sounds like your DD needs a neuropsych evaluation for ADHD.  [/b]Better to find out what the issue is in third grade and get her supports like a 504 now rather than later.

Agree with PP about going to Stixrud.  I would not bother with a developmental pediatrician for a 8/9 yo but just go directly to a neuropsych eval and get her some help.

Teachers are not always "tactful" when telling a parent that their child may have issues.  Better to listen to the message about getting your child help than to get offended.  Not sure there is a nice way of telling a parent this.[/quote]

Not necessarily.  Since the teacher has such a back handed approach with what the issue is, it may be that she is a control freak [b]who is really bothered by the kid who needs prompts. [/b] If OP's DD is ADHD, she's signs of it well b/f now both at school and home.  OP, focus on teaching your kid organizational skills.  Work with the teacher to set goals that based on behavior, not "feelings."  Then make the decision about the necessity of an evaluation.[/quote]

This is third grade not preschool and by third grade, the kid shouldn't need prompts (all the time) to start a task, stay on task and finish the class assignment during class.  Get some help now because the grade level expectations are only going to increase.[/quote]
