Your younger sister is fortunate to have you as an older sister who cares about her. I do wonder why you and another sister are involved. Where are your parents/guardians?

About 50% of children with ADHD also have learning disabilities. It sounds as if your son might have both.

Your child was tested when he was in preschool. The results were based on levels of expected performance for that age.

My first question: Who diagnosed him with an auditory processing disorder? This person should be advising you. Such a disorder often causes learning disabilities. Was he evaluated for this?

I share your concerns. Yes, he might be too young to meet the school requirements to be identified as having a learning disability.

The problems you describe are not the result of a vision problem. They might be the result of a learning disability.

If your son does not have ADHD, he should not be considered for an ADHD medication. I cannot answer your questions on placement in middle school without knowing more details.

It is not common to only find an auditory processing disorder. Has your son had formal testing to clarify what other factors might contribute to his reading disability?

You present a very complex problem. The brief responses that I can offer here would not be of help. If you have not done so yet, seek professional help from a mental health professional.

I don’t blame you for being confused. I am also. If four comprehensive evaluations found your son to have LD, I would accept that he has LD.
