[QUOTE="amy1129, post: 433828, member: 11795"] ugh, I posted a long reply and it didnt post. lets hope I can remember what I said, here goes Reading this it reminds me of my daughter (4th grade) she has struggled since entering school at age 5. I couldnt put my finger on it, but homework was a nightmare and I started to notice she was comprehending stories, preferred books with pics, loved puzzles and such. Word probelms she would go blank, wouldnt even know where to begin. I had meetings with each teacher every year, they said she is such a great kid, smart, very polite, etc. I said thats great but she isnt getting the work. Finally her 3rd grade teacher explained to me about her concrete and abstract parts of her brain. She said around 2nd-3rd grade the abstract brain starts to work. Not in my daughters case and she could see that, she said it varies with each kid....she said, watch next week we are doing geomatry, she will do awesome with that, and she did, she got it, she flew threw her work.....but when a new lesson comes up, she goes blank and needed the teacher to kind of walk her through it and off she went. But she couldnt figure it out herself. With reading, she needs to be alone in a quiet room and she reads aloud and she will comprehend more of the story (that is if one of her toys doesnt distract her :) ) ANyways, i started googling learning disabilities and stumbled on non verbal learning disability....****OMG its so her. In reading the chracteristics, more of her was brought to light....like she has never done good in a group sports, she does karate, swimming, ice skating and lvoes it, signed her up for soccer and softball she about had a panic attack. But now my problem is getting her tested, none of her teachers see what I see and have strongly suggested that I dont test her, that she is fine. BUT I know different. I might talk to the neuro psychiatric that will be working with my son and see if she suggests anything. Google non verbal Learning Disability (LD) and see if any of that rings a bell....by the way how old is your [/QUOTE]
