Like everyone else, I suggest testing if that has not been done. Also ensure a very complete medical exam. Sounds like he is getting lots of services. No need to over-do if he is basically on grade-level. Sometimes we disempower children by giving them too many disability labels. A good rule of thumb I like to use is 2-3 years of recovery for each year of abuse or neglect or lack of parenting etc. By my rule, your son is still entitled to some catch up time. Re ESL and/or LD, remember that the first 24 months are key times for neurological (brain) development. The wiring in the brain that took place in the Phillipines is in the process of being upgraded because of the language, learning and love of a new environment. Based on what you have said, I think you will see continued, slow improvement in all areas.
