[QUOTE="buddy, post: 570070, member: 12886"] I dont know about assessment protocols in your neck of the world but what makes it so hard here as far as specific learning disabilities is that children at that age only need to get very few answers correct to be within normal ranges. So, it tends to come down to gut feelings and risk factors. In the end the best thing at his age may be to learn what would be done with a child who has challenges in this area. For forming letters for example if there is a french equivalent of "handwriting without tears" that kind of method works for any child but is therapeutic for kids who struggle with typical methods. Quin did not learn to form letters until second grade when a therapist bought the program (I bought it at home too, it is quite inexpensive) and he learned to form every letter very quickly. It is used for kids who have difficulty forming letters for a variety of reasons. There is also a cursive companion. I would do the same for reading protocols. Using what you know about his learning style, pick methods that match that. If you can find some form of expert who could do this kind of testing while he is so young that would be great, but they could be useful anyway for giving ideas for kids at risk of having those issues. Just thoughts..... XXOO [/QUOTE]
