My daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia when she was in third grade. She was originally diagnosed by the school psychologist and then 6 months later by a private physician. She attends a private school and is in 8th grade. I'm just finding out she needs to be reevaluated every 3 years and I'm trying to get this done before she tests for high school to get her extended time testing on high school placement. Is every three-year evaluation for dyslexia common? Will there be a chance she no longer tests positive for dyslexia?

How do I best support my students with dyslexia during this time of social distancing during COVID-19?

I was wondering if you have any information on diet and how it affects children with dyslexia. My son has mild attention issues (suspected but not yet diagnosed with ADHD) and there is rich information about how food plays a role in the lives of children with ADHD, but I wondered if there was specific information pertaining to dyslexia?

What books are age-appropriate for explaining to elementary schoolers that accommodations are essential to help them be successful at school with dealing with dyslexia?

I was trying to help a mother who wanted her teenage daughter tested for dyslexia. The mother was told that the school does not do the testing, and they are unable to pay for testing out-of-pocket. Do you have any guidance to a place that will do this testing for a minimal cost?

Some professionals claim types or subtypes of dyslexia; however, none of the scholarly research I’ve read is convincing. What is your perspective on the “types of dyslexia”?

Can someone who is lower functioning and cannot read be considered dyslexic? Where does IQ fall into defining if someone is dyslexic?

I am a teacher and have an M.Ed. in reading and am IMSE OG trained. I am really interested in providing evaluations for dyslexia but find it a gray area when researching who is qualified to evaluate and diagnose. I'm seeing M.Ed and PhD diagnosing, and even some people offering evaluations that do not have these degrees. I want to make sure I am qualified to do so before I purchase materials and dig into more research. It pains me to hear that families are on waiting lists for a year.

The school team planned to do the WJ (w/ the cognitive section) and the Feifer again to compare from his baseline assessment. I didn’t see the Feifer mentioned in your recommended tests, so I wondered if there is a better choice.

I have a teen who has dyslexia and has an IEP in public school. My child is getting straight A's and B's in all classes, except for Spanish. I am struggling with the school to implement the correct accommodations for Spanish, as well as to provide my son with the accommodations that are in his IEP. I am looking to get some ideas for other accommodations to make him successful to at least get a C in the class. He gets all A's on his coursework but fails every single assessment.
