Right Hemispheric Learning Disorder
At first, my daughter was diagnosed with ADD. I knew it wasn't just that, so I took her to another psycologist. She was diagnosed with Right Hemispheric Learning Disorder. She has the fine motor skills problems, problems with using a pencil, eating with utensils, etc. She has attention, memory, recall, etc. but much worse then one with ADD. She can get an A on a test and an hour later get an F. She needs probably 100% or 200% more time to do homework than most kids. She has problems understanding written and oral material. She has problems with giving enough details all the time and is accused of lieing alot of times when she's not. She has an eating disorder which I'm not sure is part of it. St. Luke's Hospital, Spokane, WA told me that alot of patients with this disorder they see and the patients with these disorders usually have spinal disorders. St. Luke's Hospital has a Rehab Center that offers testing and therapy in: resource room, occupational, physical therapy, speech therapy, behavioral therapy, social therapy, etc. I recently got a perscription from her doctor for testing in all the areas and am going to take her there. This hospital says they can help kids more than schools can or will.
