Dear Mary:

Dear Michelle,

I am not familiar with gluten ataxia. You should ask the professional(s) who made the diagnosis if cognitive difficulties might be associated with this disorder.

If it is hard to verbally state why you have concerns, bring your child’s work samples with you to the school to show what is hard to articulate.

Your friend is lucky to have people who care about him. How did he get this far in life? How have you been able to accept his level of function or lack of function?

IQ tests measure basic intellectual abilities. However, parts of these tests also measure skills that are expected to be present at specific ages.

Based on the descriptions you provide, your student might have what is called a Pervasive Developmental Disorder.

Dear Tracey,

Dear Susan,
