Reality Check, WHAT NOW??

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

What do you do with a child who is PDD-NOS/ADHD and very HFA who has visual-motor issues and whose SD doesn’t believe visual-motor issues exist. I’m not asking them to pay for VT.

You try to find another way, using the vocabulary that they think exists, to at least get eligibility for help, and then try whatever way you can to get the right help in there.

And you try to educate them (because “them” can change, can be adifferent person, can be a person who suddenly figure things out, etc.) by documenting every chance you can where teh **disability** (whcih they don’t believe in) is what causes X or Y, and even more importantly, any examples where the child does **well** because of strengths or, even better, because the disability was addressed (usually by accident).

But it stinks.
