[QUOTE="nvts, post: 116838, member: 3814"] K, I don't want to sound like a broken record, but here's a thought. difficult child 1 seems to be a bright child with a few limitations. Did you notice that the only subjects that he's having difficulties in primarily require a lot of reading and "barfing back" a lot of facts? We've been going nuts for the past year with difficult child 1 in classes that require this type of effort. I for one felt that he could have a read/write disorder. I called this to the attention to the school, but they disagreed. When I had his neuropsychologist done this past summer, I brought hand-written notes that he made in class and at home. They tested him and he's definately got a problem. The school didn't see it because he's so eloquent verbally, could "barf back" (his words) what they wanted to hear and make it look like he knew what he was talking about. Now he's in 4th grade and there's tons more writing of assignments and interpretation on paper and he can't fake it anymore. Just a thought! I do agree that the notes are more so "fact-based" rather than targeting, but I also think that he's not getting all of the coverage as per his IEP. Beth PS: Do a search on read/write disorders - there are a lot of ways that you can take a look at his tests, papers, notes etc. and see if you think he has a problem. He may be able to read it, but retention could be nil if you question him on it seconds later! Bad handwriting, occasional reversal of letters, "b-s-ing" his way through analyzing a short article. Tell-tale signs! If you need more info. pm me and we can research together! me [/QUOTE]
