I would love to figure out the reversing thing. 2e was given for gifted with slow processing. 9th percentile for processing and 99th for verbal reasoning.

Is this something she can just learn to live with and continue to be in advanced classes or is it something that will be a problem for the rest of her life. Should I look more into what is causing the slow processing speed?

She went through vision therapy twice. Might be something there I suppose.

She isn't very cooperative with the eye exercises at home so I stopped paying for the therapy.

Would it be worth testing again to see if it has improved? Maybe just the Wookcock Johnoson Cognitive test for processing speed since it is quick and easy.

Is it something the school would do a year after the first one to see if she has improved or is that unheard of.


Math facts, spelling and reversing seem to be her areas of weakness. Her writing is coming along nicely and she's pretty good at math, especially word problems.


She has stopped reversing letters and numbers for the most part, at 10. Maybe it was holding her back which is why her writing is coming along finally. I'm not sure what to think, but she is super creative and super smart. I wish there was a magic wand. I figure that even if I did discover a REASON her speed was slow, what are the chances it could be fixed. So why bother.
