[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get the teacher to recommend redshirting. Also get checked for ADHD. [/quote] My understanding was that issues such as ADD, ADHD, and dyslexia typically are not identified until the child is around age 7. Is it possible to test for this at age 4? [/quote] Unfortunately this is often the case. Our pediatrician told us our son was unlikely to have ADHD in second grade based on Vanderbilt screening, but he was officially diagnosed in sixth when his symptoms became more pronounced. It can be missed until middle/high school when executive functioning demands become more pronounced - it can even be missed until adulthood if the person has good coping skills. [/quote]
