I bought the dorman book last night during the baby's 1 am feeding and I am on chapter 5 !

She attends OT and PT to address these issues. She has a retained ATNR Reflex which affects her tracking for reading and a retained Moro reflex. We have tried neuro feedback as well. She didn't walk until 18 months so there was a lot of crawling. Her sensory system is effected too especially the vestibular as she is seeking in that area.

Nthanks for all the great suggestions so far!

Thank you for the great ideas. She absolutely loves to sing so music lyrics is something I'm going to try. We bought her a karaoke machine in thoughts of helping her but I think the words go to fast on there. We have tried the flash cards route but she gets hung up in even the smalles words even a and I. It is almost as if she can read better to herself than out loud. When reading I'd she comes across the word small she will say little. It's as if she had the meaning in her head but can't say the word.

I have a child who was born with a neurologic impairment. The right and left side of the brain do no communicate with one another. Learning is slow for her she is in 7th grade and reads on the first grade level. Is there any suggestions for helping her improve her reading skill? I read to her and have her read to me but it is very slow and frustrating for her. She has a magnificent creative imagination and knows many stories because they have been read to her. She struggles with writing her stories down because she also has cerebral palsy and her motor skills are impaired. My greatest wish for her in life is to be able to read but at 12 years of age my heart breaks that still she struggles. Her iq tests at 50 and I am proud that she can read at any level but I seek ways to help her that are fun for her any suggestions would be appreciated.
