Hi, Judy -hope you are having a wonderful weekend with your family. We met with the psychologist yesterday for his report and much of it was what I expected, some other things I didn't expect, but I feel validated that FINALLY someone else is agreeing that there are some issues for Ezra and I wasn't making things up! He has a formal diagnosis of ADHD (I expected this) along with Oppositional Defiance Disorder (not expected, but it fits with what I have observed) and the most surprising finding was a verbal/language processing discrepancy. When the doctor explained that, though, it totally made sense. He said the Oppositional Defiance Disorder is very common in kids with ADHD; since they can't control their bodies, they try to control their situation through other things like screaming, tantrums, etc. He said that once we get the ADHD in hand and start treating it through behavioral therapy, etc., we will probably see the ODD resolve itself because he will finally be able to express to us in an appropriate way what he is feeling. He recommended some accommodations for the classroom, along with seeing a family therapist and some parenting classes - I need to look into that. I'll be meeting with the pediatrician soon to go over the report and see what he can do to help us when we go to the school to try to get a 504 plan in place. The verbal processing discrepancy diagnosis will now help him to get some other accommodations like being able to take his tests in a quiet room with no time limit, having the directions repeated or further explained to him, being able to verbally repeat them back to the teacher before starting an assignment so we know he understood what he's supposed to do, etc. The doctor said the positive news is that Ezra knows what he is supposed to do and WANTS to do it, just right now he physically CANNOT do it - now we are going to work on helping him achieve that because we caught this soon enough that hopefully he won't just give up out of frustration like many kids do. Sorry for the novel here, but in know you've been thinking of us, Judy and I wanted to give you an update!
