Our son?s 4th grade teacher had suggested we take him for an ADHD evaluation as he was having difficulties staying focused in class. We really did not believe he was ADHD but felt like we should pursue the evaluation just to be sure. We contacted Diagnostic Learning Services and spoke with Laurie Gaines. After talking with her, we decided to move forward with the evaluation. Laurie?s take was that there are lots of things out there that cause kids to look ?unfocused? and she wanted to rule out all the possibilities before we called it ADHD. We were so pleased with how thorough her evaluation was. We were able to rule out ADHD as the cause of my son?s difficulties in the classroom and realized it was due to a learning disability. With Laurie?s assessment, we were able to access services at my son?s school through the 504 program and he has since made significant progress.
Pros: Ask for Laurie, she is the best! :)
Cons: Sorry I waited in line at other places.....,
