My son was diagnosed with Apraxia and SID/SPD at the age of 2 1/2. We had known for some time that there was something different about A. As the youngest of 5 (at that time), it was easy for us to note the differences in his development when compared to the four who came before. He has since been diagnosed with ADHD, Dysgraphia, and Dyslexia (sometimes known as "specific learning disorder in the area of reading"). Having moved to two different states (three counties) and two different countries since his first diagnosis, we have become extraordinary familiar with the special needs education system in the U.S. (which varies widely by state) and within the State Department (which offers amazing support - one of the best perks of being an FSO, IMO). I continually update this resource page whenever I add a new post about our journey as a special needs family.

Wow, thanks for cataloging all that! It's easy to forget how difficult it is in the system there. Keep fighting and I'm sure the school in HK will be excellent.
