I am at a loss. My oldest son is in the fourth grade and having serious trouble. He is getting pretty much Ds across the board. He does all his homework and works very hard at it, but he is a POOR test taker. I do believe that he is very gifted mechanically, but he is very academically challenged. I am doing some research and have found an article which describs some children as Visual/Spatial learners and I think he fits the profile, but I am looking for help perhaps getting him into a school that will focus on his strengths, build up his weak areas without making him feel like a failure. Can anyone give me any leads? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
