  1. True. I still don't get it. You seem so lovely and normal. Maybe you just need to try jambalaya soup.
  2. What are you talking about? You are one of the best things about this forum! We need you. I'll be honest and say that I am not good at recognizing people, but I'd probably be going around thinking "So sad that Kassia is gone, but that new Aissak is sooo nice! I'm glad she showed up!"
  3. Gumbo is soup. Now I need a recipe for jambalaya soup. I like jambalaya and I like soup so together sounds like a match made in heaven. Edited to say: Never mind, I am off to the grocery store for ingredients. https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/jambalaya-soup/
  4. You could just do a search for “Can I get the recipe for that?” And then you’d find me.
  5. I do not understand how someone could hate soup (all soup? Are there exceptions?) but I agree with you 100% on the rest of this!
  6. We are opposites! If we met we might cancel each other out, like matter and antimatter. I love soup.
  7. If cereal with milk is soup, are root beer floats soup?
  8. Art therapy has been good for my youngest who has had his share of trauma and then some. Knowing you have a plan would probably help too. I think connecting with others with similar experiences would be good. Is there a food allergy camp you could access?
  9. The mayday call led to them closing the bridge to traffic but 8 members of the construction crew that was on the bridge fell and only 2 have been rescued. 5 vehicles are under water, but hopefully those were construction related and don’t have additional people in them. It could be worse but still so terrible.
  10. Sorry, I didn't mean that actual curriculum recommendations would come from a neuropsychologist, but a neuropsychologist comes up with recommendations for a specific child. An educational psychologist generally doesn't. So, figuring out how a kid learns, and making suggestions that can guide a parent or educator in choosing a curriculum, would be more of a question for a neuropsychologist than an educational psychologist.
  11. In the US an educational psychologist doesn't usually deal with individual students, although there are exceptions. They are more of a research psychologist, looking at questions such as whether there's an evidence base for curricula. Neuropsychologists and school psychologist are the two professions that are more likely to see individual students, and do diagnostic work. Of the two neuropsychologists are more highly educated, but school psychologists, because they work in the school system, may have more knowledge of the curricular choices that are available in that school system. Neither profession, in the US, usually makes curricular recommendations. They'll talk in general about the kinds of things a child needs in a curriculum, but taking that information and deciding what resources to use is up to the parent or professional. But that's an aside. What I really wanted to say is that educational diagnoses for kids in September of Kindergarten isn't going to be very precise for a variety of reasons. One is that kids that age, even typically developing ones, often struggle with attention, impulse control, and self-regulation all of which can make the test results unreliable. Another is that kids at that point often have enormous differences in early experiences. So, for example, a lot of what you describe is relatively normal for kids who come to kindergarten without an enriched background, but it might raise red flags for a kid coming from your particular household who has had more academic experiences. So, saying, this pattern of strength and weaknesses can often lead to dyscalculia, but it's just too early to make that diagnosis, seems like a pretty valid response. What led you to do get the neuropsych?
  12. Maybe this is a difference between language country to country, because in the US these are exactly the questions a neuropsychologist addresses in a neuropsych evaluation. I have a lot of thoughts on this, and hope to come back but my first thought is that Kindergarten is very young in terms of neuropsych, and that the picture is going to continue to emerge. What is your hope as far as how diagnoses will clarify things? Are you hoping it will access services for him? Or direct you to instructional materials?
  13. That is a wonderful article and you are very pretty too!
