Hi Judy:-)

Ask if a child developmental psychologist would be ok for the evaluation. I

have found them to be very helpful with my son from finding out his

recurrent ear infections caused his brain to wire a bit different so he now

has sensory integration issues with an emphasis on noise to what is the best

way he learns. She also gave advice as to what type of extracurricular

activities will help him " organize " and develop areas he will most likely

excel in thus, creating a better self esteem. OT's have been helpful with

this also. I hope they find someone good to evaluate.
