In a nutshell - school have suggested there's an issue with my DS and focus and concentration which I agree with. His attention span is incredibly short and whilst he is bright, he finds it extrmeely difficult to focus long enough to get his thoughts onto paper. Anyway - they have recommended we get him properly assessed and given us the details of 3 educational psychologists. One has got back to me and said the next step is to see a clinical psychologist and then go back to her. I'm not sure why I am being recommended to do it that way around, what is the difference between the two/in what ways can each of them help...? We are not comfortable giving medication which has been suggested, in which case would the clinical psychologist be a waste of time/money? All I really want is for someone to properly diagnose him (or not) and suggest tactics to help him. Thanks all
