[quote=Anonymous]My DD who is 10 and in 5th grade told me she doesn't like to read because there are two many words and it tires her brain out. Is this a sign of something? She is a bright child (in AAP) but she always barely passes SOLs in reading. She only wants to read graphic novels and she hates writing. She is also a very poor writer. She struggles to come up with ideas and put thoughts to paper. When we had a WISC done for AAP it was shown that she has poor working memory (85% but 2 std deviations from her FSIQ) and slow processing (30%). She has poor executive function and anxiety. I suspect that at a minimum, she also has ADHD inattentive but we have no diagnoses for that. We have not had her fully tested. Any recommendations of where to go for a full on psych evaluation? I understand there will be wait lists

Also, this comment about "there are two many words and it tires her brain out" does they signal to anyone that she has any particular issues based on your own child? Her teacher said, "I worry that she is distracted and/or not interested in reading and she doesn't put enough effort or thought into what she is supposed to be doing." To me that's code for "your child has ADHD" but maybe I'm projecting. Thoughts? We're heading into MS in a year and I'd like to get her the help she needs before she's drowning. [/quote]
