Momsdream-
Yes- Get a good eval done first. You really need to know what you are dealing with before you try to intervene. With anything-- a car, a washing machine, an illness-- you need to diagnose before you treat. And CHOP may have the services to assess this, or they may refer you out to someone in the community. I am not sure. The person I know on staff there deals with the effects of chemotherapy and radiation on learning issues in pediatric cancer survivors, so wouldn't be an appropriate contact person.
I'd hold off on the vision eval at this point. The issues that were going on with SBmom's child that prompted me to suggest that route for her s. are different than what you are describing. Wait and see what comes from the neuropsych eval first-. It may be similar to what calmom is describing.
Good luck.
