[QUOTE="amazeofgrace, post: 396471, member: 4864"] hmmm this puzzles me, I would take her to a good pediatric neurologist for a second opinion. However many learning disabilities are cognitively based. Learning Disability = Any of various cognitive, neurological, or psychological disorders that impede the ability to learn, especially one that interferes with the ability to learn mathematics or develop language skills. Also called [I]learning disorder[/I]. Cognitively Impaired = Cognitive impairment occurs when there is a problem with perceiving, thinking, or remembering. Strokes are a common cause of cognitive impairment; other causes include head injuries and some chronic diseases, such as sickle cell disease or multiple sclerosis. Cognitive impairment may cause difficulties with: Memory, especially short-term memory. Problem solving. Attention span, especially in a mental task such as a math calculation. Expressing oneself, such as finding the right words to use in a conversation. Treatment for cognitive impairment depends on the cause. [/QUOTE]
