[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 429606, member: 1991"] Seeing a neuropsychologist is a good idea. There are so many possibilities here, you need an expert's advice. The best advice I can give you, is to learn to think outside the box and do your best to be proactive with her learning. Find what seems to work for her, and use that. For example, difficult child 3 learned best when he could read the information. He has hyperlexia, we've been told, although that is not a well-known label here. He also had significant language delay but has caught up now. An exercise we adapted for ourselves, from something the speech therapist gave him, was to buy one of those 20Q games. You have to think of something, then answer the questions with that thing in mind. In answering the questions, you are making more mental connections about that thing or word. NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) is actually often associated with fewer mental connections and so anything that puts more in, is a good thing. Especially if it's a game that kids love to play!
