DD sounds similar in that she has ADHD/EF dysfunction and she also did an EF test where she had problems with switching. In a previous report by a different psych she was categorized as a visual spatial learner because her perceptual reasoning on the WISC IV was 147 and Verbal was lower, around 135. Her highest score was matrix reasoning where she hit the ceiling. She was lower on tasks that were timed (like block design) and coding. I see in her many characteristics of visual spatial learners but I think there is an overlap between those characteristics and ADHD. I'm not convinced that such a thing even exists as a visual spatial learner. DS seems to fit the profile better, in that he memorizes maps and can draw maps from memory. DD still sometimes gets her right and left hand confused, and she loses direction easily, yet she can whip puzzles together like they're nothing. It's hard to understand, but I think most of her problem in school is her distractibility. She's distracted by literally everything and can't seem to filter anything out. She also processes slowly, for instance math fluency, and writing fluency, and following directions, she seems a couple steps behind everyone else. Not sure if this rings any bells with you. She also gets bored very easily with anything that is repetitive, further exacerbating the "spacing out" issue.
