RE: [SPAM] learning disability question

This sounds like a non-verbal learning disability,

but I am not a psychologist. I recommend you have him evaluated by a

psychologist not a doctor.

learning disability question

My son is 8 years old and no matter how many times we

explain it, he

never knows what day it is and cannot understand the concepts of

yesterday, today, tomorrow. Everyday he wakes up he has to ask what day

it is...school day or mom and dad day. Sometimes he looks at the shirt

I give him to figure it out (such as his school uniform shirt). He also

cannot do math except with touch math...he can do double digit with

borrowing but has to count everything out (such as 5-4=1, 10-9=1, 6-

6=0) he does not see the simple patterns in math. He does not seem to

be able to make any inferences or logical reasoning of school work or

general situations.

Does anyone else have a child with similar issues? If so, has a

physician suggested a diagnosis?
