[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if you can afford it I'd take him for a neuropsychological evaluation with a psychologist. I used Stixrud in Silver Spring and we were quite satisfied. When our DD was in 10th grade we learning through the testing that she had several learning challenges as well as ADHD, and it was the start of her doing much better. I think she found it validating to know why she was actually doing so poorly in school. She's still not an A student but at least she's more engaged, doing better academically and headed to college next year. Just as important, she's taken up a musical instrument on her own and joined a club at school -- things I'd have been totally unable to convince her to do a year or two earlier. Don't lose heart. It does get better. Consider testing.[/quote] Above PP again. I wanted to add that we learned anxiety and poor self-esteem were factors, and that these are quite common for kids with LDs or ADHD.[/quote]
