Recommend Treatment For Learning Disorder In Children
I am trying to help a friend find a Doctor to see if her adult daughter who is 21 has a learning disorder or if something else is wrong with her. She does not seem to process information or be able to communicate information properly and has a hard time holding down a simple job such as the Dollar Tree as a cashier or a day care worker, she is also on meds for narcolepsy. Where do we begin with a proper diagnosis?

I do not know where you come from, but I am assuming the USA. Well, you can begin with her high-school or university education counsellor; if she is no longer schooling, you need to visit with an educational counsellor again, but outside the ambit of the school health services. The counsellor would next send the child to a developmental consultant, then a psychologist with interest in LD children, and finally to a team that can plan out her further educational and other goals.
