Dr. Nancy Weinreb

A highly verbal youngster, she is quite comfortable expressing her ideas. Her interests are varied: art, music, the theater, philosophy—almost everything except traditional academics. She is, however, interested in learning—the kind “that pushes your mind” and “forces you to think.” She clearly has some insight into her own functioning and is aware that she is a visual learner (“I memorize easier if I can see things. I have to write everything down; if I can see it, I can know it”). On the other hand, she does not feel she needs tutoring because she feels her major problem is lack of effort. In fact, she doesn’t think she has a learning disability at all.
