My 8-year-old daughter is dyslexic as well as inattentive ADHD. She attends a private school and is on an ISP. After reviewing her recent report card, she broke out into tears at the low marks she received. She was especially heartbroken over getting the lowest possible marks in two categories: “listens/follows directions” and “shows effort.” Do you have any recommendations on how to address this with the teacher?

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. We’ve asked multiple educators if she could be dyslexic and they tell us no, that she’d be father behind if she was. I just want to help her, but the resources seem hard to find. Can you possibly help us know where to turn for help?

I am writing to see if you can give me an opinion regarding my son. He is 10 years old and is going to a school with a very good program for dyslexic kids.

Do you have any suggestions as to what my wife and I could do to change his attitude and general demeanor at completing tasks that cause him "work"?
