The other concern Mrs. C had was Casper's distractability, especially when they are seated on the floor working together. Interestingly, at the end of the session mr. flea remarked that he was having a hard time focusing on our conversation because there was so much going on in the room (i.e. in the decorations and work posted). And Casper has always been a little daydreamy - I think this is just her nature, and there's not a whole lot we can do to change it. Homework at home has been a problem, with maintaining focus. We've had to take Dillo completely away.

Have any of her teachers/caregivers suggested she be evaluated for ADD? Although distractability/problems focusing aren't always ADD, they are common symptoms. The homework thing -- having to take away distractions like Dillo -- is almost a verbatim description of ADD.
