DD10 has these problems that started to become apparent in around 3rd grade. The school kept complaining about her but were unresponsive about coming up w/ solutions. I took her to a university to see a neuropsych/educational psych and he stated her issue is poor executive functioning (planning, organization, initiation, processing speed, focus) related to her ADHD. At first she just had a 504 because her previous school insisted she had to be failing to get any services. We transferred schools and they wrote an IEP and now she has people working with her on her incomplete work, organizational skills, etc. She also has modifications like reduced work, extra time to do things, keyboarding rather than handwriting, using a calculator for math facts, etc. I found this link helpful. http://www.davidsongifted.org/Search-Database/entry/A10782

I think it would be a good idea to meet with the teacher, share your concerns and ask teacher if it would help to have your daughter evaluated. Then decide about a school eval (which they have to do if you request it, generally), or going for a private eval. She may be able to qualify for a 504 plan or an IEP depending on the findings.

If there is a school psychologist or guidance counselor, she/he would probably be a good person to talk to w/ your concerns as well.
