There are several conditions that can cause or mimic learning disabilities, and children with these conditions are often misdiagnosed. This article provides free information on that subject.

Testing for Disabilities

Postby trhsm2012 » Wed Feb 01, 2012 12:14 am

Hello,

When my children were younger, I used the public school system to test my son when he was eight. We live in Oklahoma and homeschooling is considered a private school legally. We were placed on the waiting list and found that my child did have some problems. This was nearly ten years ago. He is now on disability because I had documentation showing he has had his challenges since a young age.

We now know that most upper level psychologists can test for various disabilities. We have now found that my oldest child is autistic. We had questioned the pediatrician at a much younger age and was blown off about it.

We finally had him tested approximately four years ago and it was confirmed. He is a wonderful child and looking from outside, you can not tell he has his disability. We are blessed to be able to homeschool and personalize his learning experiences.

We also placed him into therapy twice a week for some time for sensory integration issues in all areas. He gained speech therapy and occupational therapy.

I am thankful for the testing we received in the beginning. I am more thankful for the testing done through the children psychology center.
