Explanations Appointment...

What happened? Dave, Harry and myself met with Cindy Dupuy to get further help with Harry.
She sat with him and interacted one on one with him, asking him questions and getting to know him. After about 20mins Harry went to the next room and played with her assistant so that Dave and I could talk to her. Straight away, she brings up ADD. Did not even ask us questions, or look at past evals, just straight away, it was that obvious to her. As it was becoming that way to us too. Finally someone who has hit the nail on the head who can help us!!!

Harry has huge problems with focus and attention that effects every facet of his life. And until we get this under control we will not be able to evaluate him properly. His school evals are miss leading his true potential as they are language based tests, which comes to his next problem area, Language!
Language is a huge problem as well, he's got it all in there but just does not know how to get it out properly. His comprehension is a real problem for him.

Cindy states though that we can not do anything until his focus and attention are being addressed. Her advice was the med route! Scary!!! She said until we get the ADD side under control that the rest will just fall to the way side.
