twinmami01 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I am looking to purchase her DVD, Smart Kids Who Hate to Write. My twin boys are 12 and have severe speech apraxia. They have also struggled with auditory processing issues and were 10 before they started reading. We had a neuropsych eval when they were 8. They were hesitant to diagnose dyslexia because at the time they were just reading at a 1st grade level and she wanted to wait another year before diagnosing dyslexia. Fast forward 4 years and although they are both reading, they both struggle with reading comprehension and spelling. One of them really struggles with handwriting. We've always used HWOT and it really hasn't helped. We have started making accomodations by limiting the writing and allowing him to type. He also really struggles with math. Yesterday, it took him 3 hours to do 22 problems in Teaching Textbooks math. He does come across as being lazy and unmotivated. I'm at a loss. It's frustrating and just exhausting. I suspect we are dealing with dyslexia with both and possibly dysgraphia and discalculia with at least one. I really can't afford to have them tested since our insurance company won't pay. This is why I'm looking at Dianne Craft's DVD. I am also looking at her Struggling Learners DVD, hoping it will help with both. Another mom on another forum offered to let me borrow her Brain Integration Therapy manual. My question is, does the information on the DVD's overlap with what is in the manual? If I was to get just one DVD, which one should I get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
