@minismallholding - Thanks for continuing the conversation.
We were fortunate that we learned about aphantasia early on in our homeschooling journey. Personally, I had always taken for granted the ability to create pictures and "videos" in my mind. We were able to accelerate our second daughter's reading ability by changing to a specialized curriculum.
My heart breaks when I hear stories like the one your daughter experienced. Those labels are often carried for a long time. Great job taking the time to learn how she needed to explore the world.
TRUST YOURSELF! - I completely agree.
