Has your son by identified as having a disability or is that your feeling? If you haven't had your son evaluated for a disability and you feel he should, talk it over with your doctor. The doctor can give you referrals to a doctor that can run some test. There might be nothing wrong with your son, he just does things when he is ready to do them.
If you have information from the doctor that indicates that your son has a learning disability, identify him to your school district. He might be able to attend preschool for a half or full day. To identify him to your district make a call to either the special services office or the preschool program. If he is accepted, then he may attend school to help with learning readiness.
