Thanks for all of the advice, I am passing it all along.
I asked around (I am in a larger town/school district) and have been given the name of the same developmental pediatrician (twice) and have passed that along. He is in a larger group with a pediatric neurologist, etc. so I think they will end up with the right combination.
And thanks for the reminder about checking re: insurance - I def. will pass that advice along.
Grinity, she is barely reading, I would say at about a first grade level (hard for me to know because I would compare her to DS which isn't a fair comparison), but def. below grade level by at least one year. I am sure some of it is lack of confidence and fear at this point, but I would feel confident something else is going on beyond that. I think you are right that IQ/Achievement testing is the place to start.
Thanks again.
