Answer
Hi Deborah;

Do you live in the U.S. or UK? If in the U.S., have him evaluated in all areas as part of the special education process at his school: cognitive, academic, speech and language and social/emotional areas. If you live in the UK, you could have the school's psychologist do the same.

Kind regards,
James
