WHY would a fourteen year old have such a poor short term memory? Any ideas?

[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 384961, member: 1872"] Hi MWM, I've been thinking about you -- been to busy to respond. Both my boys struggle with poor short-term memory. I was going to give you a good link to EF's but I see you've already ready about them. Well I'll give it to you anyway -- it's in the Chandler papers which is a little gold mine as you probably remember, and he also suggests accommodations for each EF deficit. Does your daughter have previous neuropsychologist testing results? The short-term memory issues might have shown up there. [URL]http://jamesdauntchandler.tripod.com/table_of_contents[/URL] I can't find difficult child's neuropsychologist right now (it's in his files I'm sure) which indicated the short term memory problems but it did list specific accommodations, and multiple choice testing was one of them. Check on Wrightslaw to see what the options are -- I love browsing that site -- always find something new and empowering. Have you read over IDEA lately? There has to be some language in there which will make the decision for the school -- ie., it's Federal Law. Oops I was just re-reading this thread and I see Wrightslaw was already mentioned. I knew that. My short-term memory is not great. Jo [/QUOTE]
