Likely both: The situation is suggestive of learning issue/confusion in the kid. I would start with his regular doc who can rule out any medical/physical issue that would impair learning. S/he would likely know who in your region is available to assess a child with these problems. There may be a need for both to work with the kid over time.

see PCP 1st: It sounds like he might have a sensory processing disorder, be sure that is considered, a sensory integration evaluation is a specialized occupational therapy eval. Best Wishes
