I am the proud parent of an amazing 7-year-old boy. I first became suspicious of dyslexia in kindergarten. He has struggled through first grade and with outside (privately funded through my husband and I) supplementary tutoring he struggles to be ‘grade level’. The school has made it obvious they have no intention of helping him. What recommendations do you have in sequence from most important and necessary to just advise for well being? I see signs of him struggling with emotions, self concept, and confidence. I do not know who to ask for help.

I have a nine-year-old son who I believe may have dyslexia. I have checked into getting him tested but it would cost me over $1,300, unfortunately, that is more than I can afford at this time. My friend said that you might be able to help me out on either getting him tested or some recommendation of other places to have him tested. She also said that if there are some tests that you can give me or the names of some tests that he can take that will assist in me finding out if indeed he is dyslexic I would so appreciate it

I’m the mother of 21 year old. We live in Illinois, my son has never been tested for dyslexia but for all the signs he shows I think he has dyslexia. He recently dropped off college because it was just too hard for him, he had trouble reading and understanding concepts and meeting deadlines to turn in homework. I would greatly appreciate if you can provide me with any information where my son could be tested and get help at low cost; unfortunately we don’t have the money to pay for any private services.
