Where are you? Someone who lives in your area might be able to tell you where to get the child tested for all possible contingencies since no one really knows what's going on at this point.
Also, never assume the school is correct on WHY the child is bouncing about. They may be describing a behaviour but that doesn't mean they know why it occurs...
yoyo73, How old is your daughter? You may want to find a psychologist, they do the testing. Usually they are affiliated with a Behavioral Health Service, or Mental Health, I just got the yellow pages out and started calling to see how soon I could get my daughter in, and who took her insurance, and if they did the testing, of course he was a reputable Dr. but finally after two years of going by what the Psychiatrist said and numerous medications we had a diagnosis and my daughter not only has ADHD but Bipolar as well. You have to be the go getter, I have found others take their good old time , especially with all the paper work they do before they get anything done, and I and my daughter needed help yesterday. Don't let the school and the doctor throw this back and forth, Find a Psychologist and a Psychiatrist and then you will know for sure what is going on. Call your local Behavioral Health. I wish you Luck and Please don't give up.
