Four principles for changing coping mechanisms that no longer serve you.

I am in need of help. My child is in 6th grade reading at a 1.3 reading level. I have been told by several of her teachers that they feel like she has dementia when it comes to spelling and word recognition. They have told me with some of her memory issues that she may never read. I need help advocating for her.

My child is in first grade this year and he has begun to have problems reversing his 6s and 9s and 2s and 5s as well as some letters. He has some behavioral and work avoidance problems as well and the school and his mother and I suspect he might have dyslexia. Can you recommend someone who can evaluate him?

IDA's Annual International Conference is the premier professional development conference dedicated to reading, literacy and learning. The conference brings in experts from all over the world to educate attendees on the latest research, remediation, and more.

My daughter has dyslexia and struggles with reading. I try to help her at home, but it’s a daily battle with her getting frustrated and upset and crying. I don't know what else to do. The school did the CTOPP test and she did very poorly on all sections and they said she was dyslexic. Is there an kind of tutoring or help that you can recommend? Or do you know of any organizational supplies or other resources to help?

Sonocent’s Audio Notetaker was created to ease the difficulties of note taking for anyone who has trouble taking notes- from sitting in a lecture to a business meeting.

My son, age 11, was just diagnosed with severe dyslexia a few months ago after years of struggling in school. He is currently getting ready to enter middle school and I am trying to figure out how to develop good study habits and even how to tackle organizing and setting up a good homework routine for him. Is there information available to show me specifically how to organize and use tools that will help him learn to self advocate for his age group? I am in overwhelmed.

I am currently writing what I hope will be a "parent friendly" article on tests of Rapid Automatic Naming (RAN), why we look at this when evaluating for reading disorders, and current theories on the underlying cognitive processes it actually measures. There are many conflicting theories (as you know). I am particularly unclear as to whether this is always measured as a component of dyslexia testing, and whether people with dyslexia sometimes perform well on measures of phonological processing, but poorly on RAN tasks?

I have a client who suspects that she may have struggled with dyslexia all her life. Although she is high functioning, a diagnosis would give her some understanding and relief to know that her past struggles in school and present day tendency to avoid reading and math could be stemming from a learning disorder. What test would you recommend for a 32 year old female to find out if she is dyslexic?
