purpleviolin, I took a quick look back at your previous posts about your ds' WISC testing. He had a relatively large dip in processing speed subtests (both coding and symbol search), which *can* be due to vision issues, but can also be due to other things, including fine motor challenges. You mentioned that he was a daydreamer who didn't get started on writing assignments in that post, and also mentioned messy handwriting either here or there (please forgive me if I'm remembering incorrectly). If your ds had been seen by a private neuropsych, they would have included testing beyond the WISC to determine what the cause of the dips in processing speed subtests is (vision vs fine motor). If I understand your previous post correctly, you took your ds to a vision specialist for testing and received a diagnosis. Since it's been 4 weeks and you aren't seeing any improvement, I'd consider trying to ask either through the school or by finding a local private neuropscyh for testing that gives you more of an understanding of what's behind the low scores in processing speed. You may hear that it's common with children with ADHD (and I think it is), but it's also common with other LDs and challenges, and when a child is having to cope in school with an undiagnosed LD they often have behaviors that look a lot like ADHD, but really aren't ADHD. That doesn't mean your ds' diagnosis of ADHD is incorrect, just that there is a small bit of unexplored testing that might yield a great deal of information for you.
