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.
What if we told you that being dyslexic can foster strengths that can help you excel? Here are several advantages reported by successful dyslexics that may help you along the way.
My daughter is eight years old and is in third grade. She is a very bright girl. In school, she is very enthusiastic about things like science and math, but has consistently been behind at reading. At present, she is reading about a grade level behind. She spells phonetically. 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. My daughter is in 4th grade, very well behaved, and has many strengths out of basic classroom skills and reading. She has been getting services out of the classroom for language arts and math the past 3 years, learning phonics/foundations.
I recently returned from the International Dyslexia Association (IDA) annual conference, which was excellent. One of the talks I attended was using Vision Therapy (VT) as a treatment for dyslexia. That same day I had a question from a parent on VT pop into my DyslexiaHelp in-box.
