Hi Kriston! I'm following you over here today! I was totally confused about Eide's book or maybe just overwhelmed. I was looking for info for DS last year and came up having questions about his sister. 1)She's related to him 2)She had the early verbal milestones 3) She is WAY more intense 4)She is very VS, difficulty with math computation and spelling but strong reading, writing and drawing skills. 5) She had chronic fluid in her ears until 4 and has some hearing loss. At some point, she will have an evaluation as well. With DS our insurance covered most of the psychologist educational eval but the Eides, for a neuropsych eval, in our area were quite expensive.The psych eval could be a screener eval. I say trust your instinct, at this point, you're quite educated in assessing learning needs.
