well my younger son who is 9 is so very slow , struggles with understanding things and has the worst memmory ever , its like he cant retain information
no matter how many times /ways you teach him he still doesnt know the days of the week, how to tie his laces , cant tell time at all , doesnt know basic addition or subtraction
you would have to meet him to see where im coming from,, he is too slow for being in pimary 5 ,,, we firmly believe that there is something underlaying than him being "a slow learner "
anyways after 3 years of the school telling us oh he will catch up by end of year his new teacher finally listened to us and agreed,, i feared him going to high school things getting worse !
his speech therapist no longer requires to see him which im happy about ,, his reading and writing have come on great ! neater than my other son in p7 so generally he is quite creative
it was decided at his annual learning assesment meeting that the educational pysch would meet with him and that has now happened ,, on friday the school called and asked me to meet the pysch today at 2.30 for " feedback" from her meeting :S
im quite nervous ,,, i would love for my son to actually be able to catch up on his own but at same time im hoping she actually does pick up on something so it can be worked on both at home and in school ,,, right now its like banging head off brick wall

i hope your son gets al the help and support he needs and flourishes as he becomes older x us mum know when things arnt quite right xx i will be having the same issues with my son he is only 3 at the moment an din nursery but im lucky as we have had support if we need it from birth as they are watching for any signs of learning difficutlies because he was born very sick x

ihope this meeting get the right steps put in place to encourage your son x

It sounds like he needs support in class (which the ed. psych can recommend to the school) hope the meeting is useful for you & your son xx

Really hope you get some answers. Let us know how you get on x

I hope you get some answers hun! I am currently going through the same thing with my youngest Aron who is 7! So if you need someone to talk to who is going through the same then give me a shout!
