Answer 1

I need more info to answer your question.   Did they say you read letters backward?   Or you have a hard time focusing?  Or, do you have a hard time keeping things orderly?  

Many people have disabilities that are extremely intelligent.  Don&#039;t let that scare you.   Your just fine.  Any disability can be worked around if you learn how.

Answer 2

I&#039;m a special education teacher and I would classify this as a Specific Learning Disorder, or sld. This type of learning disorder is the most common of all learning disorders. Your intelligence can be normal or even above average, but you test scores and grades are low because you have trouble processing information. This is seen most in reading and math. You may have issues with blending sounds or word recognition which makes you read slower or have difficulty understanding what you have just read.

I would not worry or feel bad, it&#039;s not uncommon and can be worked on through extra time and effort on your part and your teachers.

Answer 3

possibly. ah/dd.

Answer 4

You might have attention deficit disorder. My boyfriend reads soemthing and he gets lost so he has to start over. it&#039;s difficult to deal with but with help and support from your family it shouldnt affect your life.

Answer 5

Wow... you sound like my son.  He has been classified as having a &quot;processing&quot; disorder.  It takes him a long time to sort through information in his head.  

(IT&#039;s all in there, it&#039;s like his mind is unorganized and didn&#039;t file the information under the heading)

He gets some special help in the regular education classroom, like shortened assignments or extended time because the teachers know he needs it.

Sometimes he has problems finding the right word to use and fills in with &quot;ums and uh&#039;s &quot; a lot.  The teachers will sometimes give him a list of two or three questions that he will be asked the day before so we can practice the answers ahead of time.

You can go to LDONLINE.COM there might be information there.

It doesn&#039;t really matter what &quot;disability&quot; you have as long as you get the help you need.  AND always remember that everyone has strengths and weaknesses.  Figure out what yours are, and be the best &quot;YOU&quot; you can be.

If your parents want more ideas of study techniques, i can share a few that we use at my house with my son.

[e-mail] or they can IM me at the same place.

Answer 6

It&#039;s just called a &#039;processing disorder&#039;.  There are generally a few types, auditory, visual, and language-based.  Auditory processing means you have trouble understanding what you hear quickly and efficently.  You can express yourself fine, you just have trouble understanding and sorting what&#039;s said to you.  Visual processing disorders result in spatial issues.  Like the person who can&#039;t tell the difference between the letters p,q,b,d, for example.  If you think about it, they are all just sticks with bubbles on them somewhere!  Where that bubble lies makes a world of difference, though.  Language-based processing refers to you having trouble chunking through what you want to say to express yourself.  You may have trouble remembering the correct word to say or your responses may not make sense in the conversational context.  Hopefully this gives you some ideas of what to look up.  You can pick whatever seems to apply to you best!

By the way, be careful calling it a &#039;disability&#039;, or even learning disability, as you may simply have a weakness in this area.  In order for it to be a disability, you would have to have a significant deficit that impacts your learning.  Although this may be the case, places like Huntington&#039;s don&#039;t diagnose disabilities formally, although they do collect info designed to guide your instruction.  Also remember they are a for-profit entity.  Most of the time they will find something to work on.  I&#039;ve never seen them turn anyone away (this includes Sylvan, Kumon, etc.)  

If you are able to be caught up with their tutoring, I&#039;d say you don&#039;t have a disability, but a weakness.  Huntington&#039;s should also give you and your family recommendations for you to be successful in school.  If you work with them, and continue to be behind, I&#039;d say ask your parents to take your report to school in the fall to get comprehensive evaluation there to see if you would qualify for special education help like the other answerers talked about.  

EDIT:  a comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation includes not only academic testing, but a review of your academic history, developmental background, medical info (including hearing and vision), speech and language testing, an IQ test, standardized achievement tests, fine and gross motor skills, and whatever else the team deems necessary.  There are several professionals involved in this type of eval, not just one teacher, because a full eval has to be multifaceted, according to law.  See what I mean in the difference between the diagnositic screening you got at Hungtington&#039;s and a full eval?

Good luck this summer, and I hope you get what you need!  You are lucky your parents can provide this intervention for you!

Answer 7

You need to take a test by a Learning Disable teacher. My son did this. It was eight hours of testing done over 3 different days. Public schools should pay for this. You must demand it. An evaluation isn&#039;t enough to find any problem.

My son, who has a LD, was helped by Huntington. It was worth every penny. But you need to be properly diagnosed. My son also had one on one time with a LD teacher in college.
