[QUOTE="klmno, post: 388542, member: 3699"] That is sad. My son's difficulties include audio and visual processing and memorization, too, although his might not be as severe as your daughter's. One thing that helped him immensely was making his own flash cards to study by. I've heard that the reason this works so well with some kids is because as they make them themselves, they process the info differently than audio and just visual. IOW, it's the making the cards that is the most helpful, studying them somehow "jogs" their memory of making them and they retain the info better. I don't know if your daughter has tried this method- she might have because it's pretty common- but if not, it might be worth a shot. My son started 9th grade getting C's & D's in World History and D's and F's on Span. tests even though he would get A's on assignments and studied. The flash cards had him making A's within 2 weeks. That was a Department of Juvenile Justice school so you can bet, there was no way to cheat on tests and although at first I thought maybe they just handed out grades too easily, as it turned out, my son was ahead of other students when he went back to mainstream.
