One of our twin girls, just turned 10yrs has had expressive language difficulties, since
she started to talk, we did speech therapy for 6years. When our daughter doesn't have to think about what she will say she can flow well,will leave out words at times though in her sentence's, We pay for a teacher’s aid /tutor at school for 6 hours per week, 2 mornings per week, plus
the school gives her extra help, we have done extra work at home with her since she was little, tutoring etc etc,so she can keep progressing, we live in Australia, our daughter continues to make progress, behind other children her age , our daughter wants to learn, doesn’t give up, helps having a twin sister that helps push her along also. Our daughter is a very visual, learns visually,brilliant on the computer. I believe our daughter has a form of Dyslexia, her reading is going well, however behind her age group,the school is happy with her reading progress, , our daughter finds it hard with expressing herself in speech, sounds younger than she is when she talks,mixes up order of words at times , Maths
is hard for her also.
We have seen a Neuro psychologist and his report showed
her presentation is consistent with that of a child with a
maturational or developmental delay
leading to significant scholastic difficulties and a presentation of
immaturity. In Australia we don't have programs like the USA or UK have for children with
learning issues. Has anyone read or had children attend a school like the Arrowsmith schools.
