poetry book

Loses his position on worksheet or page in textbook

May speak much but makes little sense

Cannot give clear verbal instructions

Does not understand what he reads

Does not understand what he hears

Cannot handle “yes-no” questions

Has great difficulty interpreting proverbs

Has difficulty recalling what he ate for breakfast, etc.

Cannot tell a story from a picture

Cannot recognize visual absurdities

Has difficulty classifying and categorizing objects

Has difficulty retaining such things as

addition and subtraction facts, or multiplication tables

May recognize a word one day and not the next
