Hi y'all,
I've been lurking here for about two months, reading huge chunks of the archives for something to do while waiting for the psychologist's report
and I've finally got it.
DS7 is in first grade, public school (birthday right after the cutoff, one of the oldest and smallest kids in his class). He's clearly a smart kid, with smart underachiever parents. I got one email too many from his teacher this year complaining about his lack of focus; that finally put me over the edge and we decided to have him evaluated privately. (My husband was not convinced that this was advisable or necessary.)
School's over in a week and a half, so my plan is to do as much as I can over the summer to get the ball rolling. I don't have a feel for how accomodating the school will be; I've heard good and bad reports from different folks around here.
