Thanks for your response. It has been very frustrating. She is acutally an excellent writer, just writes very sloooow. She also has beautiful handwriting.She is some what of a perfectionist too. She also hates math, even though she is good at it, simply because of having to write out the problems. I had read on one of the gifted web sites that the processing speed is usually at a normal level. I agree, this can make it seem like a problem especially when they are so far advanced in everything else.
