I agree very strongly with polarbear... three different people at my son's school and a speech therapist who evaluated him all have different, confident opinions about what the problem is. The speech therapist commented that she was sure it was ADHD because that is what her own child has. We're working our way through more substantial evaluations as well, but I've become very frustrated with getting all of these opinions because I think everyone is focused on giving a label when I think the bigger problem is finding appropriate solutions (and those aren't always the same regardless of the label, but I think there is a tendency to choose a label and give standard recommendations rather than to really look at what is going on with a particular child, which may be complex and may include issues with different causes).
