My 8yo DD is dyslexic and also has a terrible time with names. She is finally calling my younger brother and his wife by their names after spending a week at camp with them this summer. She sees them about 2 times a year and could describe them and their house but never remember their names.
At camp she made a friend and I kept coaching her with the friends name, usually she just referred to her as my friend. By the end of the week with my and her sister's help she was remembering it some of the time.
I've come to the very unscientific conclusion that names and letter / number decoding must use the same part of the brain. Is it just her or does anyone know of someone else that seems to share this.
