My child was evaluated with the board of education and was denied services because the evaluation showed no problem. This was last year. I figured the teacher was a mismatch with my child. Now this year's teachers are saying the same thing - that she has difficulty following directions. We don't know if it's because of focus or memory or processing,etc.
I think she needs to be evaluated again - sometimes they make mistakes.
But I want to try someone really good that I can trust who can make a definitive diagnosis so I know if it's just a mushegas she has or something worse.
I think I want to go to someone private who is better than the board of ed.
If they say there is a problem, then I would go to the board of ed for services.
Does anyone know someone private who is really good?

You should talk to your childs ped about a doctors evaluation between that and talking to the school program that she is now she might come up with the answer you want.

She is 6 years old and in first grade. I think because of her age it needs to go directly to the board of ed.
