  • Mother looking for cost-effective services for her son

    Yesterday my son had a neurological exam and the doctor determined that he is dyslexic and has ADHD. Although I knew this in my heart I still feel overwhelmed. He is seven years old and so behind. I researched tutoring in our area and found a recommended center. I'm worried that we will not be able to afford the cost. We live a no frills life, but are not in need. I'm wondering if you can point me in a direction that will be easier on my family's finances while still helping my child succeed.

  • Struggling Third Grader Doesn’t Qualify for Help in School

She is able to express herself verbally, but has trouble with writing. When reading out loud, she seems to be trying so hard, but the words just don't seem to flow naturally for her. Based on this, and various other reasons, I suspect my daughter may be dyslexic.

    I am a little overwhelmed with my daughter’s school this year and was wondering if I could get some information about getting the school to provide additional assistance or information about schools that are more experienced in helping a child with dyslexia.
