Thanks geofizz, polarbear, and LoriH--very useful information.
I will definitely try the online version of Dragon for DD--I had Googled
awhile ago and hadn't seen anything about that, and was getting very
frustrated because IMO DD enunciates very well and so I don't understand
what the problem is; Dragon works very well for me.
DD's piano teacher has been wonderful despite us quitting last week
just before "graduation" because the skill tests were getting too challenging
for her in the timeframe (plus she was sick for a week at a critical time and
wasn't really up to practicing). But she has all kinds of pamphlets in her
studio about LDs so I will mention it to her--she has been very supportive.
Isn't it wonderful when teachers are like that? Bless them, every one.
I must admit after this possibility occurred to me (that DD has more
'global' fine motor issues than I had appreciated, or that 'fine motor'
has a broader definition than I realized) that I am somewhat worried.
DD8 has had 6 evaluations so far (although only 2 very detailed) and
I thought we only had to worry about AS, ADHD, ODD, and dysgraphia.
I would think that if there were something else it would have been
picked up by now, but I will keep thinking about it and looking....
Thanks again!
