I am located in Australia and am a qualified teacher who tutors children experiencing difficulties in regards to their progress at school. Having just read and re-read Maryanne Wolf's Proust and the Squid, I have been looking with interest at the RAVE-O reading program. RAVE-O would be a significant expense for me, but I have been so impressed by Wolf's Proust that I am strongly persuaded. I am interested in your recommendations or opinion.

EDU 2.0 is a modern, easy-to-use cloud-hosted learning management system that makes it easy to deliver online education.

A Belgium-based research team has discovered that a slow connection between where the brain stores the auditory building blocks of language and where it processes them may be the cause of dyslexia.

We came across your Facebook page and have been very impressed with the wealth of information that you provide! We have two sons ages 14 and 11 that are both dyslexic and one also has processing issues. We are trying to find tutors that could help with homework, study skills, etc. and was wondering if you could help? We live in Michigan. Thank you in advance for any assistance that you may be able to provide.

I need help for my 10-year-old daughter. She has apraxia and dyslexia and has not progressed in school for the last two years. Her DRA is 6. I found an Orton-Gillingham tutor in Michigan, and she has made huge progress with her. I have been fighting with the special education dept. to get measurable, specific goals and accommodations. So, the reason I am contacting you now is we had an IEP recently. There was a psych evaluation. They want to label my daughter cognitive impairment. We disagreed with the evaluation and are getting an Independent Educational Evaluation. My daughter is not cognitive impaired, she has dyslexia and has not received the proper teaching instruction for the last two years. I need help finding a psychologist to do our evaluation, do you recommend anyone? Also, if you have any other advice for me I would greatly appreciate it!

My daughter is very smart. Her school knows nothing about dyslexia, she's shutting down and the school just says they know what they are doing. Obviously not, she needs one on one tutoring. Please help me, we can't even communicate with each other sometimes.

I am from Massachusetts, and my three boys struggle with dyslexia and reading issues. I am extremely concerned for my third-grader. He has been receiving support in the school system but he is still reading at the first grade level (barely). I feel he needs more support, and I believe he would benefit from a language-based program. Unfortunately, private schools are just too expensive, and I cannot afford tutors. I guess I'm writing this in hopes you might guide me in the right direction.

I’m a caseworker in Michigan who works with a student that just started the 9th grade. She has been getting special education services and has been placed on a certificate track for high school graduation instead of a diploma. Her parent doesn’t agree with this, but the school expresses that because she is reading at a second grade level in the 9th grade she will not be able to get a diploma. What type of resources are out there in Michigan for a student like this who has a least four years to improve, and can this decision by the school be forced on the parent and student?

Researchers at the University of Washington have designed a computer-interfaced drawing pad that helps scientists see inside the brains of children with learning disabilities while they read and write in real time.

I teach English Language Development to English language learners in Colorado. This year I began teaching morphology and I found your website and recommendations helpful. I plan to use the activities found on your morphological awareness page as an assessment to show student growth from now through the end of the school year. I realize it was not intended as an assessment so I'm wondering if you have an assessment recommendation or advice on where to find one that is broken into proficiency levels.
