[QUOTE="aeroeng, post: 325008, member: 6557"] You are happy because you already know she has a psychiatric disorder. Getting the establishment to agree opens doors for solutions and support. When I was a kid, failing every subject and unable to read ANYTHING. My third grade teacher told my mom she thought I was retarded. Mom said "No, she is not! Is there any testing that can be done regarding the reading issues?" The teacher said yes, and explained that by state law she was not allowed to inform my mother of the testing options until she asked first. Now many years later I have a BS in aerospace engineering, an MS in technology management and a successful career. So I think I can state that no I am not retarded despite troubles with spelling & learning to read. Keeping the testing options secret never made sense to me! [/QUOTE]
