[quote=Anonymous]I'm really overwhelmed by all the responses.  Thanks everyone!

To answer one question above - DD has already been extensively tested for auditory processing at Kennedy Krieger.  That was done several years ago after the learning specialist at her school was absolutely convinced that that was her issue.  She doesn't have it.  To this day, her SLP will still occasionally say - "that's an auditory processing type of behavior", but when formally tested (for many hours) she passed all the tests with flying colors.

I think my child does do well in one on one test environments - she likes the attention of a testing situation.

She is very hard to pin down.  If you met her, you would probably have trouble connecting her to this thread.  She is well spoken and very empathetic.  The teachers gave her rave reviews for what she said in a school meeting after the Sandy Hook shootings.  None of the other kids were able to speak until she spoke, and then after she expressed her sadness, others were able to talk about it too.  She listens to classical music of her own accord.  Etc.  As someone above said, we have been able to give her an enriched environment and she has benefited.

I appreciate the comments on the public schools.  I do see her doing something vocational at a community college, but am not sure if that is right for her in high school.  She enjoys her academic courses, even if she participates at a lower level than many of the kids.  She loved reading a Steinbeck novel in language arts, even if she did use an audiobook and probably did not get it totally.

Thanks again people.[/quote]
