My daughter has had a rough time of school. We found out when she was in third grade that she had ADHD and some accompanying issues, mainly pediatric anxiety and underdeveloped fine motor skills. We didn't find her convergence insufficiency until a couple of years ago. She's had her share of academic issues, but as it turns out, that wasn't the ( Read more... )
