[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 480439, member: 13003"] Lets see. She's 9. That would be about grade 4, right? Which is right on target for certain kinds of problems to show up. There's nothing magical about grade 4. Except that it marks the shift from learning basic skills, to having to use them extensively. No more learning to write - they assume you know how. No more learning basic math facts... etc. If you're bright, (un)lucky, or just happen to have marginal problems... you might slide through... until you hit about grade 4 or 5. What kinds of things? Well, on top of LDs, you might find Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) (developmental coordination disorder), or Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) (auditory processing disorders). You might also find that secondary issues are developing... if the primary issues have been below the radar for too long, its really hard on the kid's emotional and mental health. Anxiety and depression are not uncommon. [/QUOTE]
