[quote=Anonymous]You really have to stop equating LDs with low IQ or low functionality. I have a kid who was born with delays, needed speech therapy, had an IEP in school for years, severe ADHD, mild autism, dysgraphia (learning disability in writing), dyscalculia (learning disability in math)... ... but he's bilingual in our native language, took Latin to the AP level, graduated with a nearly perfect ACT score and took a dozen AP courses. Oh, and pushed himself to take AP Calculus BC in 12th grade despite his math disability. It's tricky to raise a child with any sort of divergent brain or special needs. But don't you dare close doors for her! Life will do that anyway. Your job is to get her the diagnoses and the support she needs (a process that takes several years), and push her to achieve as much as her potential allows. [/quote]
