What is an "itinerant teacher of the visually impaired?" what does he/she do? Maybe we have someone similar but a different name. What would he or she do with/for my DS?
So, does this statement "Certainly, we try to address vision problems before testing for a learning disability, since those can affect testing" mean I should wait on the dysgraphia/dyslexia testing till after some vision therapy? I have that battery of neutrological tests coming up next week and wonderign if I should put it off till after several months of vision therapy.
The therapist I am referring to is one he was seeing for OCD/anxiety. I starting taking him to the local childrens hospital for therapy in the winter because he was having OCD type symptoms. We decided to do an eval and testing - the testing was the WISC IV. He was diagnosed with anxiety NOS, got the above WISC scores (see above posts for why I am concerned about those), and they hinted around, imo, at him being on the spectrum (I completely with disagree with that btw - he has almost none of the symptms of that and never has)... Incidently they acted like I was way off base when I mentioned that I think someone thing is off with his vision.
