Interesting. Thanks for the perspective.
Is there anything you'd recommend for trying to ID what's up with my son?
Hi Kriston,
If you recall, all four of my kids are twice exceptional. Two of them with dyslexia. Two things I would do to ID someone this early are:
1) Go to an audiologist who is trained in identifying and interpreting a thorough testing (not screening)for auditory processing disorder. (-not a standard hearing test, as you may know). My experience has taught me that all audiologist claim they are trained for this, but they are not. So, it takes some digging. You may want to contact a pediatric ENT for a referral.
2) If there is a good neuropsychologist, I'd have a testing done. It needs to be as comprehensive as possible for someone this age. They are kind of pricy. Use this same person to help devise a plan to "fill in the holes" using the strengths found. The neuropsychs in my experience understand how to interpret results from everyone (audiologist, opthamologist, neurologist, etc) and can help plan out a strategy.
Hope this helps.
