[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 434672, member: 1550"] I agree with the neuropsychologist assessment to nail things down better. They give numerous tests and also observe and do it for 6-10 hours (they are very thorough). psychologists and psychiatrists do not test. Of course, a fresh set of eyes is also in my opinion very helpful. I have a daughter with learning disabilities. There are no medications that I know of for learning disabilities. The kids need to learn a different way. I have hired a special education teacher to tutor Jumper in some of the things that give her trouble so that next year will be easier for her. We are going to keep the tutor for the duration of high school too because the accommodations in school are just accommodations and don't address the fact that she should be able to read and do math at grade level (IQ-wise) and struggles. In the real world, if she wants to get ahead, she is going to have to understand the core subjects better (we suspect processing problems). Keep us updated and we'll try to help the best we know how. Welcome back :) [/QUOTE]
