Hang in there. I know it is a frustrating process, but really if you get anything from this you've got something. I don't know any parent of a special needs kid who found they got everything they wanted from one visit.

Were they saying it is too late for therapy for sensory integration? Or for all kinds of occupational and physical therapy? Was it that the doctor felt the handwriting problems stemmed as much from lack of appropriate training as from something neurological? Did they feel his muscle tone and strength were normal?

Did they refuse to write a referral for PT? I can't remember does he have an appointment with a neurologist? From your descriptions I think it is likely he would get as much help or more from PT than he would from OT. Improving core strength is huge in helping endurance. Is is possible to call the neuropsych office back to write a referral for a PT evaluation? I understand it takes a long time to get a specialist appointment but I can't imagine it would take months to get in with the pediatrician or with a physical therapist. If he's been seen in the last year and he/she has observed the hypotonia or dyspraxia they may not even need to see him to write the referral. Our pediatrician knows the underlying diagnoses so that sort of thing can be arranged without a visit. However, if the pediatrician hasn't yet examined his ankles though it seems like that would be a good idea.

I too live in an area with no part time access to public schools so I share your frustration with that. In the long run though, I believe for us it has actually worked out better for us because it propelled us to organize co-ops and find tutors and mentors.

I see CLEP as kind of limited. It won't get him opportunities to learn with other people and keep the spark of interest lit. It won't address his challenges with writing. It won't help him learn skills of being successful in a classroom. All it does is get him credit if he goes to the sort of school that accepts CLEP. At his age I see credit as the least important concern. If he's got LDs placing out of several lower level courses simply means he's taking more harder courses at the same time when he gets to university full time which may be difficult.

That isn't to say I'd rule CLEP out entirely but I would recognize it as just one piece of a much bigger picture of homeschooling middle and high school. I'd try to focus more on that big picture and figure out if it is realistic to homeschool or if it would make more sense to take the scores you've got to the school and see what they might offer. Did he get an IQ test - would those results help?
