[QUOTE="Martie, post: 5489, member: 284"] MM I remember your situtation with your SD quite well (unfortunately [img]:frown:[/img]) You and Dreamer are tied as far as I can tell for "worst" SD. I think you should try to get a neuropsychologist evaluation--but some one else might say that an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation would be in order. For a child as old as yours, I think that the combination of memory problems for math facts and handwriting problems in the presence of very high reading ability, suggests a nonverbal "wire crossed" somewhere. I would move her to a computer as quickly as possible if she can type. Those come in middle school--I pretty sure the alpha smarts are a grade school thing. I know you have been to due process and had psychiatric evaluations ordered. This is different. Your SD should not be treating this as noncompliance. Sixth grade girls don't usually "like" to have messy handwriting--nows boys.... may not care, but most girls do. How are things otherwise? Martie [/QUOTE]
