Bright child can't retain letter names?

Your case sounds much like my cousins. They thought his motor skills were great as well, but he was found to have dyspraxia :eek: . Here is a site with some information on it: [url]http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/dyspraxia/dyspraxia.htm[/url] Though I should state that even though the definition of this link has more emphasis on physical effects (not sure your dd shows), I thought you might find any information about processing with this disorder interesting. You know your child best so maybe this doesn't fit her--you haven't given a ton of indication that it does. There are just many similarities though in the processing dept. My understand is that it's a wiring issue in the brain. The recepters and connecters aren't always working like they're supposed to. The information might even be in the child's head but it's almost like they can't find the file. You may also want to check with a neurologist. They will probably have the best answers for you. Best to you!
