[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 313855, member: 1024"] Andy, I didn't want to hijack your thread, so I posted a separate thread on NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD), because I am seriously interested in hearing more about this. Missy has some serious comprehension issues, coupled with a lot of anxiety. This is what I have done to alleviate both and it is working. Missy is actually starting to like to read, though I'm still not sure she is comphending it all. I made up several "chore" cards and three behavior cards. Put them in pocket on a poster board. Chores are things like cleaning her room, craft area, putting clothes away, etc. One of her chore cards is reading in a quiet place for a 1/2 hour. She has to do all the chores or one card gets taken away. The beauty of it is that she knows these things have to be done everyday so it takes away the argument and the anxiety about it. It just is, period. She can handle that. She can't deal with me telling her to just go read when it comes unexpected. She went from hating reading to reading beyond the 1/2 hour and she likes to read before bed. I instituted this plan right before school started in September and she has fully read about 6 chapter books since. I don't know if this will work for you, but it might be worth a try. If you want more info about my little poster board, pm me and I'll take a picture. [/QUOTE]
