My husband and I are currently in the midst of having our nearly 7-year-old son evaluated for dyslexia. My question is this: Should fluency be taken into diagnostic account on measures of phonological awareness? In my understanding of dyslexia, fluency is crucial, so I do not understand why our son’s considerable lack of fluency is not being considered diagnostically.

Hello. I just wanted some help and support. I am dyslexic but I can't help but want to write books but because my mind just gets sidetracked and I find it hard to concentrate. It is really hard. At the moment I'm writing a book called Antonio. I've only written a chapter but my spelling and grammar is bad. I just can't get out the story in my head onto paper. There was an agency in America who wanted to sign me for my book, but they wanted 20% of whatever I earned. I didn't know if this was right, so I didn't sign. I can't stop daydreaming and going into my own world and I can't talk out loud to people either. I find it hard and I avoid phoning people. I just text. Is there any help out there for me? I've heard you can put different color shades in glasses but does it work? My confidence and self-esteem is so low. I really want to be an author because I need to get my ideas out. It’s like there is a brick wall and I need help breaking it down. I live in England. Is there any help in my area?

Our son has shown mild signs of dyslexia for quite some time, but it appears that it is dyscalculia that is his main difficulty. He is now a senior in high school, and has passed his English courses without much problem. But he is now failing Algebra I for the third time. He has had difficulty with mathematics since early grade school. We are looking for help in finding a facility that could provide comprehensive testing of these learning disorders to help understand his situation better. Could you please help, or guide us to someone who can?
