My daughter was born with hydrocephalus and she has learning issues. The schools should test your son, the diagnostition, but frequently only after a referral from a teacher. But meanwhile take Allen for a neuropsych evaluation. You can take that evaluation in to the school if it is deemed he needs extra help. Schools can take forever, but remember by law they have to provide everything your son needs to learn successfully in public schools. You are getting ready to become your son's advocate in a big way! Stop kicking yourself, you are a Mom not a doctor. I tried to be my daughter's physical therapist and was a dismal failure. I did the best I could....that is all any of us can do. Every time my kiddo had a shunt malfunction she came away a little different. Yes, it breaks my heart, but thank God for shunts. Without one....... Hang in there! You will both be ok!
