[QUOTE="nvts, post: 102249, member: 3814"] The good news is that you caught the issue early, AND there are alternative methods of teaching that may help. I don't know if you've been asked before but "what type of evaluations have been done" (sorry if I'm being repetitive! [img]:smile:[/img] ) Have you had a neuropsychologist? That's usually done in a teaching or Children's hospital. If you have: call them and ask for add'l testing and state the concern. If you haven't, you should try to schedule one asap as they usually take a few months to get an appointment. Ask to be put on a cancellation list. This is really thorough testing and they may be able to find what's fueling which issue. I just had one done on difficult child 1 and pointed out that there are two lower-case "daughter"'s in his name, yet he still writes them 90% of the time as "bb"s and he's 9. That's pretty odd when it's part of your name at his age. They did add'l testing during the neuro and it turns out that he does have a "read/write" disorder. [img]:soapbox:[/img] (I love those "I told you so" moments!) Let us know how it goes! Beth [/QUOTE]
