The following is a small tidbit of my sons report from a psychologist's office regarding my 9 year old son:

"Results of that evaluation indicate
(Ds9) possesses very superior, gifted intellect. Results further indicate he meets clinical criteria for:

314.00 Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Inattentive Presentation, Moderate
315.9 Other Neurodevelopmental Disorder (previously Learning Disorder Not Otherwise
Specified), Executive Function Deficit (impairment in automation of routines and
sequences)
315.2 Specific Learning Disorder with Impairment in Written Expression (Semantic
Dysgraphia)
315.4 Developmental Coordination Disorder (Motor Apraxia)

his difficulty with written expression and handwriting appear to interfere with his ability to
adequately express himself and his learning in writing, given he displayed very superior, gifted
ability to verbally express his intellect (WISC IV VCI – 98th percentile)"

I understand what ADHD is. I understand what Dysgraphia is. I'm still wrapping my head around Executive Function Deficit and Motor Apraxia. Any recommendations?

Thank you in advance.
