[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We recently got the results of 3rd grader neuropsych. It says diagnosis of math impairment-moderate, writing expression-mild, adhd/inattentive mild, frontal lobe and executive function deficit, weakness in fine motor control and coordination. 
The psychologist seemed like everything was ok but then the recommendations seem troubling. Like May not be able to learn foreign language, needs special accommodations for everything. 
Can someone tell me truthfully how bad this is. Will she be able to attend regular schools?  Her reading was good. But overall average aptitude. [/quote]
My DD had a similar profile but add in low processing, visual impairment; and ADHD was moderate. IQ was 54%. You have to play the long game to set your DC up for success. Today my DD is a junior in college, honors program accounting major. She needed accommodations that continue to this day. Here’s what she gets:
Double time on tests and quizzes; extended days on assignments if requested
Glean software on her iPad to help note taking
Teacher PowerPoints and notes
Auditory books 
Foreign language - she got a word bank for all exams and quizzes. Oral was in private and extra time. In college she was allowed to take 2 courses that focused on culture and history and less on vocabulary. Be VERY specific on the neuropsych that foreign language accommodations are needed
Recorded lectures - university gave her software to record on iPad
Electronics in classroom
Priority registration so she has enough time between classes to account for her double time tests

Testing was done in 2nd, 5th, 8th, 12th grades.  Do the 12th grade/pre-college AFTER DC turns 18. Make sure your tester is specific on accommodations as that’s what you will get. Nothing more.
She has received tutoring in English and math from 2nd grade till today. Even now she has 4 hours a week for accounting. Organizational skills are a must. Whatever you need to do to build them. You seem really worried but I want to give you hope. Start with getting accommodations now, get tutoring to keep your kid on track, and start to build study skills. When the time comes pick a college that has a formal learning support program with dedicated staff. For now, focus on making sure your school can, and will, provide support. [/quote]
