[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 14348, member: 1161"] If you suspect an Learning Disability (LD) in your child, how do you know, or when should you get concerned or get them tested. I've had a suspicion that my easy child may have some kind of Learning Disability (LD) but question whether I'm just being oversensitive because of difficult child. She still doesn't recognize all of her letters and has started getting resource room help to keep up with reading. When we read her books at home, she can't seem to remember from one page to the next a simple word like "it" or "am". We were filling out valentine cards and I notice she still writes letters backwards - s, z, g, p, she asked which direction she's supposed to write the curve on a capital D. It took her 5 tries to get the s right in a name, even with the name printed out right in front of her to copy. When I asked her to tell me the numbers it showed on the clock (2:47) on the microwave, she could tell me 2 and 4 but had to count over the numbers on the buttons to get the 7. She mixes up 6 and 9 all the time. She's just 1/2 way through grade one, so maybe I'm expecting too much and kids still do this through grade one and it's normal?
