Oh. I'm sorry I didn't respond to the OT/PT stuff. I will ask about that. He did 1.5 years of OT through private pay. That was prior to our knowing about the extent of his problem. Anyhow, it maxed out our private pay options.

Mary thanks for the suggestions. I'll check into them. Do you think at kid with a VCI of 136 should be skipped a grade or two? I know he reads, to himself, much better than he reads aloud and they judge his reading ability by oral fluency. I think his impairment might actually be involved in his getting significantly low scores in fluency (reads aloud at 6.1 years age equivalent, but reading comprehension when reading to himself is at 12.9 grade equivalent-- 17 some years age equivalent). I think with proper stimulation it would be higher than that even.
