[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 114552, member: 84"] Marg Thanks for the input. [img]:smile:[/img] As for practicing with her.....We've done it her whole life. I automatically correct/or ask for a correction from her. Why? Becasue like you said with your difficult child, when she was younger it caused some awful meltdowns because we were expected to know what she meant. Nichole isn't sensitive about it at all. (however she did go thru a stage when she was) This quirk of hers has been met with amusement by the rest of the family for years simply because we've grown so used to it. I think our attitude toward it helps it not be a serious/sensitive subject for her. Practicing putting in the correct word doesn't work. She can do it when you correct her/ask her to correct herself. But in normal speech it goes right back to the way she's always said it. As far as writing/reading, Nichole has always had the letter reversal problem. Also her letters tend to get "jumbled" in words longer than 3-4 letters, turning a word like Jumbled into Julmbed. Learning to read and spell happened with many many hours, tears, and meltdowns. Numbers are the same way. Made math a nitemare. I have to keep in mind Nichole has the diagnosis of static encephalopathy (very very mild according to neuro). But it is so mild that I often forget she even has the diagnosis. This is some interesting stuff. The brain and how it works/and often doesn't work can be amazing. hugs [/QUOTE]
