My son, too, is highly verbal, has a processing speed that is very low (2nd percentile on the WISC-IV),and has motor disabilities, problems with visual processing and visual-motor integration, and an autism spectrum diagnosis.

We homeschool so that we can accommodate his strengths and weaknesses in a way that works for him. We're working on getting him accommodations for standardized testing right now so that he can take the math and writing portions of the ACT and SAT with some chance of being able to demonstrate what he can actually do in these areas.
