Dear Pam,

Oxygen deprivation at birth can certainly have long-term influences on a child. At this point it cannot be determined that oxygen deprivation at birth is the cause of current difficulties, but currnet status in development, neurological state, cognitive abilities, etc. can definitely be ascertained via testing of various sorts. It sounds like this might be in order so that you can pinpoint this girl's abilities and limitations.
