I have a son who has been having a lot of difficulty at school. He is 10 years old and he has a real hard time in concentrating and his reading comprehension is really poor. He has had multiple tests done but he has never been told that he is dyslexic. He was diagnosed with ADD inattentive disorder. I would like to have him evaluated in a center specializing in learning disabilities. We are from Puerto Rico and we are lacking specialists in this field. I would be willing to go with him anywhere to have him evaluated. Do you have any suggestions?

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.

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.

A new psychological test is helping researchers understand how the human brain decodes letters to read words.
