[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD just did a psychoeducation eval and her verbal comprehension was in the 99th percentile....and her spelling subtest or whatever test it was (don't remember the name) was 13th percentile. This resulted in a diagnosis of "Learning disorder of written expression.". Psych thought there might have been missed dyslexia but DD is smart enough to have compensated in the early years (now is 12) and the dyslexia tests now weren't conclusive. Spellcheck and Grammarly are her friends. I give thanks that we live in this age of technology (for her sake!) [/quote]

What are you doing for your DD now? Had an SLP eval for my DC a couple months ago and phonemic scores were all in that range (highest was 25). It was the CTOPP II or something. Scores 98th percentile on the ELA MAP test though.

We're doing speech language therapy once a month and Logic of English (an Orton Gillingham program) at home. It explains English spelling rules!
