[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 439635, member: 11791"] OK, I'm going out on a limb here, but... (having been interrupted 2x writing my first post, I had to re-read everything again, and...) Here's one possibility... Were a lot of the np tests "written"? or oral? It makes a huge difference. If np is testing oral, and she's having problems in school, then... Hypothesis... She may have dysgraphia... a Learning Disability (LD) that has to do with written output. Given that she had trouble getting going on reading, its highly possible that she also has problems writing. This could come in one of two forms... difficulty with the physical aspects of writing (letter formation, etc.), OR difficulty organizing thoughts etc. in written format (or both). It can be a "disability" - as in, she can't do it, or not as well and/or as fast as others, OR it can be a fatigue issue - it takes so much effort that they burn out before they are done, or burn out in one class and then can't do the next one! IF this is the case... then here are some things that help: 1) oral exams (rather than written) 2) scribed exams AND assignments, especially English, Social, History... the 'big-write' ones 3) use of a computer, if physical aspects of writing are a problem (there's specialized programs available for math - let me know if you want the details) by the way - obviously, she doesn't have gross-motor skills issues, or she wouldn't be good at sports - but how is her handwriting? does she do OK on the fine-motor aspects of dressing (tying shoes, small buttons)? eat properly with knife-and-fork? If its "just" handwriting, then even higher probability of Learning Disability (LD) - if more fine motor skills, then add a motor-skills component to that. [/QUOTE]
