[QUOTE="SRL, post: 288327, member: 701"] To me this paragraph above would be enough reason to seek out more answers because the problems that you are describing are central issues in human communication and together may be indicative of problems in the speech/language/audiology realm (auditory processing, language processing, having a grasp on appropriate social speech, etc). In a 4th grade classroom made up of a diverse group of students there is often a great deal of support built in that enables her to compensate for these weaknesses. In an 8th grade classroom, a high school honors class, or in an employment situation they could be potentially much more problematic. The brain is more malleable at younger ages and if therapy is indicated, the chances for it to be successful are much higher when she is young than when children are older. Kids are also usually much more willing to go into such therapy situations when younger than when they hit their teen years. Personally I would want workups in the area of audiology and speech/language. [/QUOTE]
