Hello everyone, I'm new to the site, but I think you are the right people to
give me some advice.

My son is not doing as well at school as I think he should. His writing is awful
and he rubs out for England, often erasing sections of the page too. He finds
spelling very difficult and as for organisation..........

I managed to get the school to make an assessment at which his non-verbal
reasoning was way higher than any other score. Strangely, spelling and reading
were tested to be of above chronological age, but the assessor didn't seem to
think that he understood what he was reading (although the comprehension test
was above average too)

Overall, the areas to be developed were auditory processing, receptive
vocabulary, acting on instructions and re-calling information from a lesson
input, auditory memory and comprehension above a literal level.

Does any of this sound familiar to anyone here?

I'm so confused. Help please!
