Is this normal that he has a hard time remembering the names of numbers and ABC/אב? He only gets it after going over and over and over but taking forever

It may be typical development it may not be. It’s best to get the child evaluated. Are you missing other areas that the child may be struggling in?

My adhd son had a very hard time with names and אב. He is actually very bright but still jas a hard time qith names. He is now 9 and sometimes I'll ask him what his friends name is and he'll have no idea. B"h this doesn't effect him too much.

It’s possible he also has a language disorder, as it seems he is struggling with word retrieval. Many speech therapists specialize in one area of speech. It’s possible the speech therapist he is going to now specialty is articulation and not so much with the language aspect. It is definitely worth discussing your concerns with her. Even if it is not her area of focus she should know enough to guide you in the right direction.

Interesting, my 5yo is also having trouble remembering the names of the letters. She sometimes has to go through the Alef Beis to remember that it's called a Lamed. She's getting it eventually but it's taking a lot longer than most of my other kids.

My DD also had hard time of remembering names etc. After doing full evaluation I was told she has language processing disorder which includes word retrieval and memory. Currently working with a very good SLP. Things aren't easy for her in school. Wishing you good luck OP
