In my search for answers, I have come across information about visual-spatial learners. Could it be that DD7 is a strong visual-spatial thinker? This link was on another thread and it matches her personality fairly well. http://www.giftedservices.com.au/visualthinking.html

Can you share examples of your visual spatial learners and any challenges you had with them in school? Techniques for getting through the routine coursework would be helpful. Also, what school settings are best?
