I have an 8 yr old daughter( 1st grade ) with PDD-NOS ( Autism Spectrum ) its time for her IEP reevaluation. The district is refusing to look for a specific learning disability in my daughter. They claim its “too difficult at her age”. This child shows no ability for abstract thinking in regard to math and is in the bottom of her class in terms of reading. When is it standard that a learning disability could be found?
To answer the question regarding IQ she is in the low average range however they think her IQ is higher but that because of the PDD they cant get to it. Ive also read reposts that kids on the spectrum don’t do well with the standard IQ tests.

The reason I am suspecting a LD is the areas that she is having issues with are the same areas of my sons LD ( he also has PDD ) and the same areas as my own LD.

From what I’m told IQ’s are supposed to be fairly stationary but with my children ( I have 5 total 3 on the spectrum )they go up everytime they are tested …when I say up I mean by 10 and 15 points at a time. This seems to support the theory that the IQ tests are not truly obtaining their IQ’s.

Regarding an advocate We have fought and won with this district illegally removing our sons IEP .. we fought all the way to federal court…. 6 weeks ago he got his IEP back. It was determined that he has multiple LD’s on top of PDD. We are our own best advocate

Andre L asked:


Combo of reasons:

1. He has a terrible short-term memory.
2. He CONSTANTLY mispronounces words and has a difficult time translating thoughts into words.
3. He also has a reading problem.
4. He constantly appears to be over-whelmed, flustered and disoriented

I realize that it is normal for ANYONE to experience any of these problems every now and then. However, I feel that he has a HISTORY of struggling with these problems and it has become apart of his character and image.

(I am not trying to “defame” those who have a learning disability, but I was just curious if that could also be his diagnoses)

This an honest question and I would love your thoughtful and honest feedback!

My friend has a learning disability with writing (stayed in regular classes all throughout school), it just takes her a bit longer to get her words on paper. She wants to teach science, which she is really good at. Is that a good choice for her?

Should I go back to the community college that I left or just transfer to a four year college that has a program and services for learning disability students?

I’m thinking of getting a BA in English and becoming an English teacher, but have been diagnosed with a learning disability in math. I live in the state of Florida and understand that there are certain tests you are required to take (some involving math) in order to become a certified teacher. I’m wondering if those can be waived if I’m specializing in English. Anyone know?

Dyscalculia is a math learning disability. I believe there are spatial and coordination problems that go along with it.
