[QUOTE="Josie, post: 428320, member: 1792"] Maybe have him work with her on organization and study skills rather than specific subjects. Ask him is he can teach her compensating strategies to make up for her poor memory. My daughter is working with a Special Education tutor who is doing this. Part of it involves outlining the major points in the reading. She started at a grade level or two below my daughter's level to make it easy to get the concept without being overwhelmed by the reading itself. She also works with her for math. The tutor has her go through the same steps every time for problems, even if she can just do it in her head. The steps are written down in her notes. The tutor's focus is teaching strategies more than just math and reading. I wish I could tell you more about what the tutor is doing, but I'm not sure. My daughter isn't complaining about not understanding the reading any more, though. She used to just fall apart over the very idea of doing math. Now, she does it easily enough and even asks for more math so she can get caught up. I have been told she looks like she has ADD. Her official diagnosis is cognitive disorder due to medical reasons. She has poor short term memory, poor working memory, and executive function problems. [/QUOTE]
