Teenagers with poor phonetical awareness
Posted: Sun Nov 13, 2011 6:32 am
Hi, I am trying to get some advice about my 17 year old son's learning difficulities. He has undergone a series of tests which indicate that he tracks as average or above average in a number of areas but that his phonological awareness is at year 4 level along with some differences between his working memory and processing speeds. It has been suggested we see a speech pathologist but have been informed that this may not be much help as most childrens phonological processing changes at the year 4 level. We are aware that our son has some learning difficluties but no one seems to know what to do. My question is, are there any programs that can assist people of my son's age to improve in the area of phonological awareness and whether anyone has a similar story? Thank. Kevin.
