Hi Jo Reading your post really has me feeling for you. I have two sons ages 7 and 8, both with auditory processing issues and ADD. Our boys are at a private school and see a speech therapist regu...

My advice ... STAY AWAY from them hehe I am serious. Don't worry about them. When you walk in try and make eye contact and smile so you are seen to be friendly but otherwise I would be more than h...

Thanks knockonwood. I was hoping it might pass after a few days too but he seems to be getting more and more upset by it all these last couple of days You have put my mind at ease that your daught...
