[QUOTE="seriously, post: 428448, member: 11920"] Social skills is usually a casualty of impulsiveness and distraction in my experience. If these are not big problems for her then I suppose it makes sense that her social skills are good. I am wondering about ... Language processing problems - these would most likely show up on speech/language testing that is not typically done unless there is an obvious language or speech problem. My daughter wasn't tested for speech until I insisted in 4th grade. Her language processing problems were so significant she was unable to do some of the tasks at all. I knew there were problems because she couldn't follow more than 1 step directions but the school was insisting she was fine. So if there hasn't been a speech/language evaluation done I would be thinking about that. Vision - there is more to vision than being able to read the wall chart letters. It is actually a very complex process. If you can find it/afford it you might try to get a comprehensive visual exam done by a developmental optometrist or orthoptist. Here's a link to a little more info on this so you can try to figure out if this is worth pursuing.
