homeschool resources for middle schooler with dyslexia & memory problems

[originalamyj]

My 16 year old daughter has some similar issues. We homeschool and it's been a Godsend for her. She's had neuro testing but no LDs were apparent even thought I strongly still believe she has dyscalculia. She does have Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Social Phobia, as well as some executive function deficits. They believe her anxiety seems to hinder her math abilities because she panics when she hits math thats too hard or that she doesn't know.

Homeschooling is such a wonderful blessing because she can grow and thrive academically without the other hindrances of a school setting. Mine is dual-enrolled in community college and is thriving (she had to have an accommodation for public speaking and has to have at least one friend with her).

Not knowing your math facts backwards and forwards will perhaps be a hinderance in the future, but keeping her in a holding pattern does nothing for her development. I would consider Math U See as well. It's isn't graded, so you buy the appropriate level and she won't even know she's very far "behind". And keep putting one step in front of the other. There are HUGE leaps in maturity in these few years ahead and you will see that even if she always sucks at math, she CAN do sooooo well at many other things. You'll be able to find her strengths!

Many blessing to you!
