[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re-posting to fix the title - I would appreciate it if the moderators can delete the earlier post.

I have a 7-year-old with ADHD who is doing really well with medication in a mainstream classroom. Her Achilles' heel, however, is writing and spelling. She has basically been looking at the same word study words since kindergarten. This year, she was placed in the lowest word study group because she did not do well on the assessment (she is not great at taking tests, even one-on-one). She has been saying to me, "Mommy, why am I doing this again. Does my teacher think I am stupid?"
 
She is never going to be a great speller and her handwriting is never going to be great (her father is the same way and it did not prevent him doing very well professionally). But I don't want this holding her back - she is doing so well in all other areas. But trying to explain this to her teacher got me nowhere. [b]She will not change the groups.
[/b] 
She does have a 504, but it is primarily for concentration and organization.

Any advice as to where I can go from here would be appreciated. [/quote]

How will changing groups help?  Your DD needs a full neuropsych eval to see if she has learning disabilities.[/quote]
