My daughter is 13 years old and diagonosed with ADHD, PDD and LD and some communications delays. She is reading at a second grade level. She is in a special services school in our local area. She has no physical impairments and is not Autistic.
We have had her tested in the following areas: genetic, chromosonal,MRI and EEG. These tests have all come up with no diagnosis or reason for her delays. It is slow going with Becky one step forward and two steps back.
I am interested in learning more about this study.
