I guess I should give a little update. We consulted with a psychologist after my DS11's teacher noticed him getting distracted in class. This was added to to our extensive observations of his attention problems at home with homework. The psych said it definitely sounded like he had problems with attention, so he gave us survey to have his teachers, as well us us, fill out. Well, as of today they have been scored, and the only survey that turned up clinically significant attention scores were from a teacher who admits she doesn't know my son well. In truth, none of the teachers really do know him well since he's only been at the school since September and since he's very shy and quiet. We also had his last year's teacher fill out the survey, but she had 35 kids in her class last year and I don't know if she would have noticed if he was paying attention or not. So, anyway, we're back to square one.
Next week he'll take the WISC-IV and the WJ-III so that we can try to get an accurate learning profile.
Does anyone have any suggestions about where we can go from here?
