• My son was recently diagnosed with dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia. We will be homeschooling him in January. Do you have any tips on how to help him best learn?

  • I have found tons of research about the benefits of audiobooks for students with dyslexia, but not much about whether it is important or pointless to track the text simultaneously? I'm wondering what you’ve found on this topic?

  • I’ve been an educator since 1979 and have worked with learning disabled and dyslexic students from kindergarten to adults. I am trained in Orton-Gillingham. I was surprised that you make no mention of this exceptional program on your dyslexia website. Please share why it was omitted.

  • I have been looking at these fonts but can't say how good these are for use in documents that dyslexic people read. Here they are: Spartan MB,Gothic A1. Are these good fonts? Thank you for reviewing and assessing these.

  • My son, a junior in high school, was just diagnosed with dyslexia. He was diagnosed with dysgraphia in first grade and we thought that was the reason for his inability to spell, poor handwriting, and slow reading. What do we do now? Is intervention too late? Any suggestions would be helpful, especially for college.

  • Is there a difference in dyslexia testing protocols for children (7–12 years) versus teens (13–17 years) versus adults (18–21 years)?

  • I am a parent of a dyslexic student. I am trying to work with my daughter’s teacher on some appropriate and viable options for brain breaks, activity sheets and testing models, like using a word bank instead of fill-in the blank. Can you please point me in the direction of where you received this recommendation? Is there evidence based research?

  • Our homeschooled daughter has dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADD, working memory and executive functioning challenges. Now she is a 9th grader and we need to start considering accommodations for high stakes testing. Do you have experience with obtaining accommodations for children with learning differences that are homeschooled? If you have any idea of where we might start to address this issue it would be sincerely appreciated.

  • I live in Southern California. My son is 16 (sophomore) and reads at about a 6th grade reading level. He has been through several programs since he was diagnosed with dyslexia in 1st grade. Most have been helpful and instrumental in getting his reading level as high as it is, and most importantly, in keeping him from getting discouraged. My question is: what programs are available for older teens to get them ready for college or even trade school? So far I have been told that students acquire coping skills and tricks to get through college. Really? Isn't there a program to bring the reading level higher?

  • I wonder if you know: are there peer reviewed, scientifically controlled research articles demonstrating the efficacy of the Davis Method of treating dyslexia and of his Young Learner methods? As a classroom teacher, I don't like one-size-fits-all solutions and would like to be guided by evidence-based science in my choice of methods.
