So having time to read and digest the report from the neuropsych, here are the main points.
Keith is above average in intelligence, he just doesn't have the capablity to focus long enough to reach his full potention.
The offical diagnosis is:
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder – Combined Type
Adjustment Reaction with Mixed Disturbance of Emotions and Conduct
The first one...well, we knew that. The second one...umm I have no clue! LOL
But the doctor gave us some great tips and tricks to do to help Keith.
I've also contacted the Department of Special Education at school to start the evaluation process for an Individual Education Plan (IEP) so he doesn't get lost in the system.
Speaking of school, it starts next Tuesday and I.can't.wait!! This summer has been difficult for us all because Keith needs so much structure to his day and its just not been possible. He gets very bored and then acts out.
It's hard to believe summer is nearly over. It's gone by so quickly.
