[quote=Anonymous]This well be of no help to you today, but know that LD children with high IQ scores process input/output in non-traditional ways often times unappreciated in k-12 learning environments.

Time is the great equalizer for children and adults. It maybe hidden from you today, but the way your child processes information although a hindrance today may one day turn out to be a gift. Although it maybe more time consuming which is not appreciated in k-12, your child may actually be more analytical in their information processing than typical children. Similar to physical prowess equalizing over time and maturing the brain also continues to develop until age 25.

What appears to be a disability today may actually become an advantage in adulthood.

What you are both experiencing today is painful; I know. We all want our children to be that stand out kid on the travel soccer and "That's Academic" teams, but for many of us it's a long difficult slog to adulthood when, believe it or not most everything equals out.

Just have faith in yourselves and know although it may take more time than we'd like; it's all going to be fine in the end. [/quote]
