We have a 7th grader with dyslexia and ADHD. We live in Tulsa where resources for remediation and assistance are so scarce. He goes to a private school which has helped but I feel that he is getting more stressed and more behind as he gets older with the more reading that he will have. We are already members of Bookshare (which he doesn't use as often as he should since it requires sitting and listening). I am really stuck here. He's really smart but with 7th grade we have had a wall with the load of work. He dictates a lot of work to me but I feel that there should be ways to accommodate him so that he can do the work himself and feel as if he has ownership. Is he just going to have to find ways of compensating? I am looking at your app list right now.
