[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 521450, member: 3419"] Congrats! I was all set to say that he clearly has measurable Learning Disability (LD), but then I realized he's only four, so as his brain and neurological issues mature, he may "grow out of" some of that. However, if he has true LDs, then you'll know by the time he's six. I know you want to know everything NOW and it's so hard, when you want to get an early start ... sigh. You seem worried about protecting him, and I am wondering what the "teachers" or aides will do to aggravate him ... with that age group, most teachers are young and fun, so I would worry less about protecting him and more about making a plan. It really does make a difference when it comes to the teacher. Gosh, at age four, I would still be focusing on basic shapes, maybe one or two numbers and letters ... Also, a lot of kids memorize stuff at that age that makes them look like rocket scientists, and then they forget it in six mo's. So the idea is that they *can* memorize and that their brains *are* working, regardless whether they retain the information. If that makes any sense. :) I'll give you an example. I attended a party where the next-door-neighbors brought over their 3-yr-old daughter recited everyone in our gov't, back when Hillary Clinton was 1st lady, the Sec of state, vp,etc. I ran into them 2yrs later. "Let's hear you name our top gov't officials." Mom: "Oh, she doesn't remember those any more." [/QUOTE]
