question about learning preferences

[Guest guest]

My youngest son has always had a hard time speaking. He has not been

diagnosed apraxic, but selectively mute and language LD. He has a hard

time in English classes, very good reader but cannot write very well,

has a hard time with inferential language - loves math and music, very

talented in music. Does anyone else's apraxic kids show this type of

preference in learning or with their skills? Just wondering if it is a

brain sphere dominance issue.

Thanks,

Hi ,

I don't think all apraxic children have brain sphere dominance issues, but

I thought it was an interesting question. Shyann definetly prefers math and

music. It just seems that the artistic sphere wants to excel to compensate for

her speech apraxia...now if I could just get her to sing her words insted of

saying them! I've tried, but it doesn't work in her case. Joy and Shy
