Short term memory loss in my child

by joanna12, Nov 03, 2009 02:27PM
My 9 year old son, was diagnosed in 2nd grade with short term memory loss. He is now in 3rd grade and is still reading at a 2nd grade level, mathematics he has the same problem. I am going over everything with him once he comes home from school. I have noticed that he needs to be reminded for everything. I have spoken to his special needs teacher, she states just keep reminding him of his daily chores, his homework. She states repetition is the only way he will learn anything.  Does anyone else out there know where I can get help for him?? Any organizations??
Please help!! Thanks

This is a common trait amongst children but I am wondering if he is on any meds as the side effects can be short term memory loss, if he is ask the Doctor to change or stop them ..
