Well as many of you know, Gabriel has been going through a lot of evaluations and testing for a number of issues. Back in March, he started OT (occupational therapy) for Sensory Integration issues and is doing well. We've also gone though some additional testing for Autism and Autism related disorders. The verdict from the local school district is that he has PDD-NOS (Pervasive Development Disorder - Not Otherwise Specificed). I call this the "we don't know what's the matter with your kid" label. LOL But it just a form of autism. Luckily it is a high-functioning form and Gabriel is doing great.
We have a couple more evals to go through and the school district will brainstorm and make recommendations on what types of assistive service they can provide for him. That might mean speech therapy, OT, an aide, special accomodations in the classroom, etc. So hopefully we will know more soon.
Just thought I'd give an update.
