With most normal children that type of incident wouldn't pose much of a problem, but it did for her. Alexa went undiagnosed with Dyslexia and ADHD combined type for four years after she began her academic journey. The school board had prevented the adavancement from thrid grade into fourth due to a severe illiteracy problem. However, at this same time Corbett's father was moving the family of her older brother, Andrew, younger sister Somer, and mother Trudy, to Weston, Florida.
