The Big Day!!!!

Well, we made it through Tuesday. We are waiting for the final written report - which could take up to a month - Yippee?! We left not sure whether we had accomplished anything  or not. And it was a very long day.
Our day at the children's clinic started at 8:00 a.m. and lasted until 5:00 p.m., with a 30 min lunch.
First we met with an education specialist - everything she tested put OLA in the average or above average category. But I want to know if you can discount what his regular teachers and school specialist have seen over the last two years. As well as all their hard work.
Then we went on to meeting with the medical staff. The doctor told us she wasn't really seeing any issues with ODD or ADHD. And she wasn't willing to rule out FASD because of confirmed alcohol consumption as well as the fact that the spectrum can be so broad.  Also how he responded to typical ADHD medication - which can be a common problem in FASD.
After that we went on to see an Occupational Therapist - her preliminary diagnosis included both SI (sensory integration Issues) and ODD tendencies - but note observances made by pediatrician above.
After lunch we met with the Psychologist.  He had an IQ score of about 116 but a big discrepancy between what she was seeing and what we as parents are seeing. But she too indicated that she did not see any glaring issues that would point to ODD or ADHD. And she at that point did not rule out FASD.
Then it was on to Speech/Language specialist. Just like with our previous experience in Preschool and  Kindergarten she found nothing amiss.
Last but not least we saw a physical therapist. She too didn't see any glaring gross motor skill problems. But couldn't really explain some of the issues we ask about - like falling off his bike for no apparent reason.
It was a long day and it will be interesting to see what the final report will determine. But my husband and I left wondering what we really had accomplished.
And on a pleasant side note - OLA went into melt down mode the minute we hit the van to come home - something we had warned the psychologist would happen - not sure she believed us. He had them all charmed - which he can do!  So - we shall see. In the mean time it is back to riding out the waves - nothing new there!
