Psychoeducational Evaluation

My 6 year old had one done in March, just got the results today. She low in almost every aspect. She got all S’s (satisfactory) in science, social studies, and conduct which is amazing. She has problems with reading, math and spelling. Then their targeting about her behavior, how she’s has a speech problem (which I’ve told them since the beginning of the year yet wait til 2 months before schools ends to do anything about it) and it’s effecting her understanding her teachers and her peers. How she’s has might have some depression, anxiety and is often fearful, easily stressed, not able to calm down when upset and cries easily. How she’s seems confused and out of touch with reality. She doesn’t make positive comments or encourages her peers. They’re saying she’s great at doing this independently but struggles with working with peers or social skills. It’s truthfully made me feel like shit. Has anyone else has this done? Or has a child her age and grade? I just want to not feel so alone and like I’ve completely failed my child.

She's 6. Kids around this age are all at so many different stages. I'm wondering, are *you* concerned about any of her behavior?

She’s always had speech problems, she went to therapy for it and basically reached her goal so she didn’t have to go anymore. I’m worried that they’re too focused on why she’s not doing as well as they want her to instead of what might be causing it? She met all her developmental goals from newborn til now, never delayed, only problem was her speech. Now she’s having a problem reading I’m guessing

I have so much to say but I'm not sure how to say it. My advice would be to keep an eye out for any concerning behaviors. I don't know her personally, but I think it /might/ be worth it to look into autism (unless you're in the US right now). Autism presents differently in girls. What makes me think of it is the "not able to calm down when upset and Cries easily" and "great at doing this independently." Autism runs in my family so I have a lot of experience with it. But she could also just prefer to be independent or be developing emotional regulation. Doesn't have to be a clinical thing. So hard to tell. Feel free to message me if you want to talk. I will not judge. You obviously care about her loads and this seems more nature than nurture.
