  1. Ohhhh that makes a little sense thank you for clearing up my confusion I am headed over to link right now to learn more. 😀
  2. I was trying to figure this out looking on line but could not find a clear answer on adverbials vs adv phrase or adjectival vs adjective phrase. One site said that some use it interchangeably but another said there is a slight difference not really give clarity why. Can someone please help me understand the difference if any?
  3. I found this on Amazon is this it. https://www.amazon.com/Via-Latina-Words-Peter-Sipes/dp/1937847071
  4. Vintage81 responded better I could I used it with my 5th grader last year along with outside resources when she wanted more information on a particular topic.
  5. Major hair fall, extreme tiredness and increased heart rate sent me to the dr. who informed me I have Grave Disease. The good news is that as long as I stay a way from food allergens and eat natural whole foods I'm good. But the minute I deviate all my symptoms come crashing back.
  6. That70'sLisa thank you that sounds like a good app to use with dd and a little more user friendly than xtramath. Using programs like xtramath have been a great help along with daily flash cards review.
  7. I had to step a way to get my head around everything but I am looking forward to reading up on the NVLD when you get the chance to post.
  8. Thanks for the link I am going to be reading this very soon. ETA: Wow, this article had my dd11 down to a T when she was little and it actually helped make a little more since about dd current diagnosis.
  9. Yes, how I react to things she does that is tied her having autism. I admit have been really hard on her when came to her forgetfulness, avoidance etc. I have stepped in helping her in social situations before the diagnosis because I saw that was a problems before the evaluation. Dd has been hanging around other introverted kids and adults because she feels they operate on the same way length as she does and it has helped. I see her actively trying to interact without fear.
  10. Canadian Mom of 2. I think you are right I need to wait for the full evaluation which may give a little bit more information and recommendations that the pre-report did not give. During this time I am going to research somethings and use this time to calm down and regroup. The one thing that was advised and I agree with is getting dd help with her anxiety and depression now. And I really do appreciate all the ideas and advice because they have given me a lot to think about.
  11. It looks like I have a lot of researching to do like looking up what exactly is psychotherapy. The lady who evaluated dd suggested psychotherapy to help dd develop coping skills for her depression, anxiety, flexibility and social skills. Could they suggested this because she is high functioning or is that this is what the suggest to new diagnosed cases? Ok, here what I am planning to do please tell me if this is a good start. On the medical side talk to her doctor to see about getting other tests done on learning disabilities, cognitive Behavioral therapy, developmental optometrist, psychotherapy and Nonverbal learning disorder. The other is to work on her social, depression and anxiety through some type of therapy. Also, I was told that the full evaluation takes 4-6 weeks should I wait to see if they have other recommendations or go on? Phase two is the academic work which consist of I have yet to figure that out. So, if I understand correctly I need to work on her visual spatial skills first and this can be done by going to socialthinking.com? I do have to book for her age group that work on that will that be a good start?
  12. Storygirl thank you. I went to the doctors office to drop of the pre-report to the dr and asked her to call me so that i can ask her about getting other test done. I hope she will call me back today.
  13. I am going to check that site of a little later today to see what will be able to help her. Thanks for looking over the scores. I will have to check but I remember having to see one sometime ago if I am thinking of the right optometrist. I will have to look again and see but i will say for the past several years she has had to see a special optometrist because her prescriptions are strong. What does it mean when visual spatial scores are that low? ETA: I just went to social thinking.com and wow they have a lot of things that looks like it will be a great help to dd.
  14. For some reason it will not let me upload this file even though it is way under required size. Mathematics Composite: Standard is 71 hers is 3 Numerical operations 78 hers is 7 Math Problem Solving 66 hers is 1 Math Fluency: Standard is 72 hers is 3 Math Fluency Addition 81 hers is 10 Math Fluency Subtraction 76 hers is 5 Math Fluency Multiplication 65 hers is 1 Placing her grade levels at grades 2 or 3
  15. I went to the site you posted and I like the way they break down what is psychotherapy and what i should look for when looking for a therapist this is going to be a great help. I am going to look at this site over the weekend to get more understanding on everything. Thank you so much.
  16. Right now my mind is all over the place as I am sure many of you have gone through. I really don't know where to begin dd in 3 grades behind in math which probably due to her low memory. I was told that her scores may been much lower if I did not have her do extra math 5x week and flash cards 5x week if I stay on her. The math programs I am using for her seems to be a good fit, rod and staff 3 with mep 2. Still, is there something I should do differently? How do I best build her memory without making her feel stupid doing what she deems as baby stuff? The only thing I know off the top of my head is to continue narration and dictation just more frequently. Also do I put other subjects on the back burner like science or history to concentrate more on subjects that she struggles with?
  17. Thank you Innisfree I will make sure to look around and ask question. The lady who test dd also runs the group which also has a 6 month waiting list. In the past I would get mad and fuss because I thought she was just being forgetful. I now know that it really was not her fault. Now I have to figure out how to feed her strengths while getting her to working on other things because of fears or struggles. OhElizabeth those are great suggestions I am going to look at the site you suggested and use the tip you gave. I have learned one thing over the years with dd is to do things when she is ready when she was younger she hated one on on social interaction and it did not help that there were no kids in the neighborhood to play with. Now that dd is older she has expressed interest and I have been working for the past year help dd in different social situations. Canadian Mom of 2 thanks for the tip I changed the title but I think I may change again. I am in the process of looking for a psychotherapist and social skill groups to work with dd as suggested by the evaluation.
  18. This may have been asked before and I thought I saw a posting about this but I am not sure. I am looking for old treads/posts or any advice or help. My question is what else should I being doing? Where do I go from here? My daughter who is now 11 had an evaluation June 27th for Austim. According to the evaluation she is ASD Level 1 Aka Asperbers with Depression, Anxiety, and a learning disability. The full report will be mailed to me in 4 to 6 weeks. They said that her MERLD is gone per say and I wish I could have explained it the way they did but I will not do it justice. Things that stick out to dr and I: Working memory is in the 16 percentile Visual Spacial 7 percentiile Math was between 2nd and 3rd grade Levels she is going in grade 6 Deficit in non verbal reasoning Lacks social skills and understanding this in turn causes her anxiety, low self-concept, anger and depression to rise Talents / Skill are: Art( Drawing, Sculpting customizing dolls,creatures from rubber bands) Language specifically Grammar and Vocabulary Good with saving and money planning Reads 2 to 3 grades above reading level Things told that helps and will help: Psychotherapy Social groups by places like Kennedy Kreiger, Johns Hopkins etc Social activities like tennis etc Narration - said I should continue Math programs chosen seem to be a good fit. MEP and Rod and Staff along w/manipulatives Homeschooling is thought to be good for her. Interacting socially online has help but must be careful Consistency with more structure in certain areas.
  19. I have it saved to my google drive. I'll pm you.
