DD finally dx with non-verbal learning disability... anyone have experience with this
Hi everyone,
As some of you know, my 8 yr old dd has a learning disability.
We've struggled with this for 2 yrs... she is homeschooled because of this.
Well after receiving her psychoeducational test results today her doctor has said that she has Non-verbal learning disability..
It wasn't a big surprise to me since i thought that she might have aspergers or be mildly autistic.
She will complete her report and have recommendations for the school.
She has said that dd's math will always be a problem, her writing will not improve but will get worse.
She suggested that the school make available to her a computer for her work.
She will also have problems with maps and directions... she has NO sense of direction.
She also explained it as if you give someone a rubix cube and they will turn it turn it and finally they will figure it out.
But with dd she can turn it and turn it a 100 times and she will still continue to make the same mistake...
So that explains why i have to tell her it seems a 100 times not to do something... she does it anyway...
I'm anxious to learn new stragedies as to how to help her, it will be a tough battle but we're on our way...
So if anyone has any thoughts please feel free to chime in.... i won't be offended.
