[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 149228, member: 1233"] Interesting thread. My hope is that your children have been thoroughly and appropriately tested for learning disabilities like dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia and other problems. I know that having assistive technology has helped my oldest greatly. He simply CANNOT put thoughts on paper with a pencil. He can draw you a picture, but writing an essay with a pencil is torture. His brain simply doesn't work that way. He had an alphasmart for several years, now the high school simply has him use the computer for ALL writing. Dyscalculia is a math disability, it makes the numbers jump around, transpose themselves, and math can be extremely difficult. Use of a calculator SLOWED my son's understanding of math, though it sped up his calculations. He could get the right answer, but couldn't tell you WHY it was right!! I think the medication question is hard for parents, ALL parents. Hopefully you will get the right combo soon. Susie [/QUOTE]
