Parker update
So 3 weeks ago we went to Gillette's and he saw a neurophsycologist. They did a lot of testing on him. All day long from 10 till 4:30 pm. So yesterday we had the results. He really hasn't improved from 3 years ago when he had testing. He is in 7th grade this year. For reading and writing he is at a 2nd grade level. He has not really made any progress. For math he is at a 3rd grade level. He has a hard time switching gears and needs to be helped to shift. He also excels more than peers with hearing something and regaining it or hands on and regaining it. He just cannot not read and process and regaining it. Memory recall is a little better. Organization is hard for him. Remember what he needs to have or bring home from school is hard for him. We also learned that he has high Anxiety and that is why he has his anger issues and outburst. He feels the need to please and worries about all of this. So we are to see a counselor so they can help him with control or we can do medication ( depression meds) She would like to see him have his txt on audio since that is how he seems to learn best. Also no main stream classes in reading, writing like they are doing now. Ugh so much was said When I get the report in a few weeks I can update even more thorough. She also gave us a place to check out that are advocates for special needs kids in school. In some cases they will even send a person to come to IEP's to be a advocate so I am going to check into that. It is sad to hear he hasn't improved but honestly it does not surprise me. My poor baby he is going to always struggle I am fearing High School and I fear for his future and jobs. I am thankful he is living in when all essence he shouldn't be but beaus of one bad choice on my mothers part turning left in a no turn area to chase somebody down he will struggle his whole life.
