[quote=Anonymous]Hello there anon. I would love to connect with you and discuss what feedback you’ve gotten and if you’ve been given any further direction. What you describe sounds like my son precisely! My just turned 7 yr old is extremely bright in 98 percentile IQ and got invited into Mensa at age 6. He’s doing third and fourth grade math in his head but when it comes to reading, he’s incredibly slow and it is very difficult for him. When I read to him, he can recite back verbatim months later what the page says, but for him to actually break it apart and read it himself is a struggle. We’ve done the Psychoeducational eval with a psychologist and he does have ADHD and he cannot attend to tasks very well. He fidgets and spaces out and distracts himself more than any external stimuli. I’m considering looking for alternative learning environments from traditional school setting to try and find ways to better meet his needs, but I don’t want to take away his social circle as this was a slow developing area for him in the beginning. Again I would love to connect and see if you’ve gotten any insight or encouraging suggestions for helping our brilliant reading challenged kiddos! :)[/quote]
