I read to my daughter when she was really little, even going so far as to start her a small library, building into 10 books a month for several years. Now in 3rd grade she is severely behind. She was in a reading program in her daycare from the age of three and has been going to sylvan 8 times a month for the past 15 months. I personally am putting every little bit extra into trying to get her caught up. Many people have told me she has ADHD and can't slow herself down enough yet to be able to read successfully.We are a low income family, but I have excellent reading skills. This article makes it sound like bad parenting is exclusively the reason a child would have issues. How very sad that in looking for some tips to help her at home, I found this, which makes me feel like I am already a terrible parent and should just give yp
Real Private Daughter (cd Found

Children with language delays, I believe will improve with more one on one approach. Try finding what instrument he is interested in. Find not just a so, so teacher but a brilliant teacher that really knows how to teach music and understands not only how to play, but understand the musical scales well and theory. Music lessons will stimulate their brains and help them improve their reading skills. Learning how to read notes from left to right is just like reading. Except when they see the note, they will hear beautiful music. Piano lessons will get the brain working by using both right and left hand. Other instruments like flute, violin, trombone only teaches one clef bass or treble. Try private tennis lessons or swimming lessons. This I believe is better than speech therapy because they have to perform the action by working one on one in a fun environment. Boys especially love moving their bodies. Just having this one on one with the instructor will help so much with their reading, verbal, and comprehension skills. Next, introduce audio books. Find his level and see what interests him. He may not like fantasy books, but is more interested in people relationships and how they cope and deal with different situations. Read only at night, when the day is coming to an end. Climb in bed with him, and tell him we are going to listen to an audio book together. Next have him hold the book and follow along with the audio. Maybe start with picture books and gradually find books that interest him. Good Luck! Relax and have fun. Everything in life takes time. It is a process and success doesn't happen over night.
Acquiring new knowledge requires many times to break through old barriers and disregard conventional perspectives. Thus, the old classification scheme of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in the DSM-IV stipulated that the symptoms of ADHD might not occur exclusively during the course of pervasive developmental disorder (PDD). Although understandable from a point of view to maximally differentiate ADHD from PDD or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the classification rule simply ignored clinical reality of the large clinical overlap between ADHD and ASD and has blocked research into the neurobiological underpinnings thereof for many years [7, 8]. In a similar vein, the DSM-IV prohibited to classify oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) when also criteria for conduct disorder (CD) were met. This DSM-IV rule was in marked contrast with the classification of ODD and CD in the ICD-10 nomenclature, where both ODD and CD symptoms were lumped together into one overall category of CD. As a consequence, the DSM-IV system blocked the refined study of the relationships between ODD and CD and did also impediment the study of the added clinical value of diagnosing ODD symptoms in patients with CD. In their carefully conducted longitudinal study of the developmental relations between ODD and CD, Diamantopoulou et al. [2] assessed symptoms of ODD and CD in a community-based sample. They found that ODD and CD symptoms developed rather independently over time, and that ODD symptoms did not increase the risk for later developing CD, except for when already subthreshold CD symptoms were present. The findings did not support the idea that ODD symptoms are a milder or earlier form of CD. Further, the presence of ADHD did not make a difference in increasing the transition rate from ODD to CD, at least in this community sample. What is our next research step? This should further renew and bolster our interest in the study of the phenomenology, aetiology and neurobiology of ODD as separate from CD, as has already been started [9, 10].
