OP here: thank you for the additional clinical background. That sound-symbol relationship is exactly what I have trouble with. I had intensive, systematic training in sound-symbol correspondences, and though it did not seem particularly effective for me who knows where I would be without it. I do know it was incredibly frustrating and a miserable experience as a child to be faced over and over with the one thing you are terrible at. If I were encountering greater difficulties or my coping mechanisms were less sufficient I would seek it out now, but I don't feel it is necessary.
