I may have mentioned elsewhere that my daughter has been struggling in school. It was recognized in kindergarden, but because of a year-long stint in an Anishnaabe school that was also language-based, it wasn't identified as early as it might have been had she started out in the public school system.
Early testing identified a possible learning disability, leading to more testing (and expense) from a private clinic that specialized in such areas. (in her case: visual perception/short term long term memory processing) This clinic has yet to produce any results since last July, citing that transcription is still ongoing. However, with the help of her teacher and resource support staff member, we've been given the allowance to go ahead with a psychological evaluation to further understand her learning process.
Simply put, more tests.
I'm worried.
For all the information that I've been given has said that it's important to understand her issues as early as possible. The longer she goes without recieving more relevant help, the more difficult it will be in the future for her to catch up. Yet, it's going to take several more months before any results are produced leaving everyone at loss for what to do in the meantime.
Because her difficulties are severe, alternate options were discussed, leading to the topic of attending a school specialized in certain disabilities in the future. A boarding school.
I've got forms to file, questionnaires to fill out, documents to sign and a mind full of questions without sight of immediate answers.
Hopefully, it's not going to be as bad as it could be, but not knowing gives me much more time to make it worse in my mind.
