[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son took Latin. He could not easily learn something that needed verbal fluency. Actually, he's already bilingual English/native language, but that took years and being exposed to both at once at birth led to a significant language delay when he was young. We knew he wouldn't be able to pick up a third language easily. Latin is entirely text-based, so it went much better. He's also motor-challenged, so ASL was a no-go. [/quote] Me again. Maybe not if your kid has dyslexia, though? My kid was diagnosed with MERLD, then autism/ADHD - he's never had problems decoding text. The two disorders are quite different, OP. Why the confusion? MERLD is usually a placeholder for autism spectrum disorders. It could be your kid is mildly on the spectrum and also has dyslexia, or that his assessment was not specific enough, or that he was assessed when he was too young.[/quote]
