My 8-year-old daughter is dyslexic as well as inattentive ADHD. She attends a private school and is on an ISP.

My 6-year-old daughter hates school and always has. She scores terribly on standardized tests, she’s behind in reading, she throws tantrums at home over homework, and she constantly writes number and letters backward.

Can you possibly help us know where to turn for help?
