sorry to hear about your child.

you mean you want to get a second opinion?

usually child psychologist have to make several months in advance booking. Not easy to get.

Have to wait long.

Damn. Thought of making appointment at Pantai. Most of it are only open 2 days in a week.
We have decided to get a clinical assessment instead of a visual 1 hour assessment. Then only the therapy will be targeted.

Here is the funny thing

Whenever we ask him what's your friends name he said I dont know.

We went just spoke to him teacher and showed them the assessment. Frankly they we really puzzled. Their feedback

1. From their observation it is not as bad as the assessment
2. He knows his friends name
3. He is pretty ok. For sure there are some issues like he usually can't carry a conversation he just like to answer yes or no
4. He can tell stories.
5. He can read not fluent but I am happy.

They think maybe this 1 hour assessment is not wholesome enough or that he is not comfortable with the therapist.

Anyway we intend to send him for a clinical test. Called sunway,  next appointment is in March. My eye pop out. Wtf.....

Usually you have to wait 6 months to get this kind of doctor.

long wait my friend.

He is 6yo ? Can read ? ok what.

He only can say yes or no, maybe he is shy.

So exactly what is the issue? Doctor think he has dyslexia?

When he plays with say knife. He told him cannot. It's dangerous. Ke ask why. Then explain again he still ask why.  We suspect he dont understand or chose not to understand.

He also can't carry a conversation. Maybe its expectation [I hope it is] but he seems to be a very blur kid.

The earlier assessment put him at age 1.5 year old on cognitive.

oh..i see what you mean.

sorry to hear about this.

did you try to sit down with him, to teach him?

I do this with my kid, when he was a baby, I fervently show him flash cards.

I taught him A-Z at 2yo

At 4yo he can do addition and subtraction

This is because i sit down with him every night 45 min each to teach him.

Frankly we drop the ball. We were laissez-faire on my second kid. Lots of screen time, hand feed until recently. Bathe him etc.

But in the last 2 weeks we stop the screen time ( as much as possible)  he feed himself bathe etc, can see improvement.

I am hopeful. I just want the best for him and help him to catch up. With a proper diagnosis we hope he will get a targeted help he needs.

So it is not due to cognitive development?

it can be overcome with parental training and guidance? if this is so, is good news.

after 1 hour doctor should have said something

if its reversible by training, it is good

pray best for your kid.
