My husband and I are looking for someone to evaluate our daughter for dyslexia in Michigan. But we are having trouble getting professionals to listen and understand our concerns. Do you have any doctors or resource centers you recommend?

I have an eight year old daughter with dyslexia. I am trying to get some advice on software or books and teaching materials to help her at home. I found the Nessy software and the reviews seem to be good. I would like to get the absolute best program even if it a professional version. Is there any advice you can give me...or point me towards someone who could help me set up a home program for her?

My homeschooled grandson is eight years old and is in the 3rd grade. He also has ADHD. My daughter suspected he may have dyslexia at the end of 2nd grade, and had him tested by a Susan Barton tutor, who confirmed her concerns. That testing doesn't qualify as a clinical evaluation though. Where do we go to have a clinical evaluation like your website describes?
