One thing that I'm glad we did when our dd had lots of therapies etc, was to take 2 years to do K. We just did it slowly. I wanted her to have a couple of hours a day to be a child. I'm glad I did that. On days that she didn't seem to get things, I would back down. Sometimes I'd have to back down to "just color". and be good with it. THe next day things would click. For her, doing some school computer work for 20-30 min first thing helped. It helped another dd to play the piano. And another ds to do a puzzle...try to find the thing that helps her focus. Also I like http://www.amazon.com/Making-Brain-Body-Connection-ebook/dp/B002EAYIV6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1345001975&sr=8-2&keywords=making+the+brain+body+connection

Welcome. I see you haven't been here terribly long. I tend to come and go. Can I safely assume your dd is adopted? My dd works there with disabled. orph. s.

One of my dd's has Velocardiofacial syndrome, NVLD, Cog.Disorder, word finding problems, slow processing, and problem solving issues.

Is there a particular part of her challenges that are the most concerning to you right now?
