Ok, thanks guys.

We are up on the mid north coast, near Coffs Harbour, so I'm not sure what would be available in this area.
Pretty sure there is an OT (though not sure about a paed one), coz they were considering sending DD3 to one with her BF problems.

My gp is pretty good, but I'll definetely take some info with me, as well as something written from her school.
Also, there is a paed in Coffs who's pretty onto all this sort of thing, so I'll specifically ask for him. Mum found him great when having my younger sister diagnosed with ADD.

When mum told me what they talked about, my first reaction wasn't feeling crap coz something was wrong with my child, it was relief!
I've known for a long time something was slightly different about her, but could never put my finger on it. This fits so well. I hope it doesn't take too long to get her some help at school.

Knowing last night I tried so much harder to keep distractions to a minimum while she was reading, but gave up after 5 pages.
Then after being told to do one row on her homework sheet, she did the lot!

The teacher (she's in a K,1,2 room) has put her back down with the kindy kids while they do their jollyphonics to help her get a grip on it. (12 months last year & she still doesn't remember any of the actions).

My gp is usually really good. Though I took her in last year to talk to him about her millions of issues & his suggestion was that she was just too young. Which I just agreed with, since she did start school a little too early. But again, there are other area's she's doing great in & while her teacher had my approval to hold her back in kindy if needed, she didn't do it.

I'm going to read more about SPD. See what I can learn. Thanks for all the tips & advice
