[quote=Anonymous]OP I would have her tested. The concern that a diagnosis will give her an "excuse" seems odd to me. Presumably that process would not go like "You have a learning disability, that explains your bad grades, you might as well quit trying because you'll never do better." It would be more like "You have a learning disability, this means you have problems with X, Y, and Z, and here are some strategies you can learn that will help you with those specific areas." Or, you find out she doesn't have a learning disability and then you have ruled that out.[/quote]
