I think it's important to catch these problems as early as possible, because it really does make things difficult in the long run if you don't.

I agree. I can't believe some of the responses I'm reading in this thread. If it wasn't for testing, I would probably be flipping burgers right now. When I was younger, I did so bad in school. I did super bad in the beginning of 8th grade. So they ran some tests and they found out that I had trouble because I had a STRONG visual and kinesthetic learning style. I think almost all in pictures. I also learn well by doing. But, I'm a horrible auditory learner. Guess which way I was being taught in class? Mostly in lectures. They taught me how to visualize information. It helped, and since then I've been doing pretty good in school.
