I also believe the diagnosis of Disruptive Behavior Disorder Not Otherwise Specified should be ruled out for her given high levels of concerns of these types seen for her at school. However, it does seem possible that some of these behaviors are related to issues with attention span and/or learning, and in particular, auditory memory; conceivably, as these issues are successfully addressed, we may see less pronounced S/L: SUP-TUNE-IS on her part, at least in the classroom.

This is how I learned hyphens sm
Subject: This is how I learned hyphens sm
VI. Hyphenation
These prefixes do not require the use of a connecting hyphen in compound terms:
ante |
intra |
semi |
anti |
micro |
sub |
bi |
mid |
super |
co |
non |
supra |
contra |
over |
trans |
counter |
pre |
tri |
de |
post |
ultra |
extra |
pro |
un |
infra |
pseudo |
under |
inter |
re |
weight |
Examples - antecubital not ante-cubitalAlso Correct - antithesis, bitemporal, counterproductive, defibrillated, extrapyramidal, infraumbilical, interpersonal, intracranial, microhematuria, midline, nontender, nondistended, nonfocal, nonspecific, noncontributory, noncompliance, nonicteric, nonsmall, overestimate, overweight, preoperative, postoperative, posttraumatic, pseudogout, semicircular, sublingual, superimposed, supramammary, transvaginal, ultraviolet, underweight, weightbearing.
Do use a hyphen with prefixes ending in a or i and a base word beginning with the same letter. Example - anti-inflammatory.
Do use a hyphen when compounded with the prefix self.
Example - self-administered, self-monitored.
For Clarification - Use a hyphen after a prefix if not using a hyphen would change the meaning of the word. Examples - re-cover (to cover again) versus recover (regain)
Post is in that list above so I make it part of the word in most cases unless it should just be a stand-alone word.

Subject: I don't remember where I learned it, but...
I like using the first two letters of each word in word pairs, like refa = respiratory failure. If I have other word pairs that have the same letters, I add the last letter twice (or more), like refaa = renal failure. If there was a third word pair, it would be refaaa. This would not work for some people, but it's very fast for me. I also double the last letter when the shortcut would be a real word otherwise, like poree (instead of pore) for posterior region. With this system (and looking at your cheat window at the bottom), you can keep adding on other phrases. If I use acfr for acute fracture, I might use acfrd for acute fracture or dislocation.
That's my main trick, but there are lots others I use. I do add individual words to my expander (especially long words) with no shortcuts so I can start to type and find the word in my screen to just plop the rest in automatically (sorta like how AutoText works).
A lot of what makes sense to you will not make sense to someone else. You just need to find what works for you. Keep trying things out because it can't hurt to keep adding or changing. Not even one day goes by without me adding lots of new entries. The key is to always be looking for ways to type fewer strokes.

through TV ads. The ads come on and I'm telling the TV to please show the name in writing! They usually do, and I learn the spelling on the spot because I know now all the patients will be asking for it and the doctors will be dictating it.

effect (noun) a result
effect (verb) to bring about
affect (verb) to influence
affect (noun) psych term
The verb effect is usually pronounced with a long first e. "Let's effect some change around here."
In your case above, it is the verb effect (to bring about). She wants to bring about relief with club soda. The effect (result) of her using club soda was infrequent symptoms.
Affect as a verb is pronounced with the first syllable accented, (like Ben Affleck).
Affect as a noun (the psych term) has the second syllable accented.
Suggestion: Jot this down and tape it to your monitor. You'll get it. Don't jinx yourself! :)

do you need to know how to spell it, but also learn what it is that you are typing (and save yourself the embarassment of having one of your reports make the "laughing rounds" at the hospital or company that you're working for). :>)
