Blackcat, aside from the EF issues, your dd sounds very much like my dd12. Her teachers thought she had them, though, because she could NOT do writing at all (zero words on the TOWL, only 13 months ago) and all her work is incredibly slow. She now has an educational therapist who is helping with idea generation and organization, and the difference is like night and day. We probably spent five months looking for the right person, but after six months of therapy, her writing is acceptable, at least when it's not personal opinion. We're continuing therapy; I can't wait to see the results after a year!

There is hope. It gets better. Our private testers were able to recommend the therapist that suited us; perhaps yours can help you find someone?
