My son is attending his first semester at a small private college seminary and has been really struggling with his Spanish class. His older brother who teaches at another college indicated that in visiting with his younger brother he observed symptoms of dyslexia. How does one get an 18-year-old tested and a professional diagnosis made if appropriate? If a diagnosis is made, what is normally done to assist the adult student with learning in college?

I am 25 years old. I want to go back to College but I really can't read spell or do math I really want some help I have a 1 year old baby who is looking up to me. I live in Wisconsin.

I am a 35-year-old male who lives in Iowa; I have recently come to the conclusion that I may be dyslexic. I am trying to find places to where I can get tested and have really come against a brick wall. I see from your website that you have information about testing in younger children, but wondered if you had any idea where adults can get tested? I really am having difficulties find anyone that does testing.

My son is now 25 and a college graduate. He was diagnosed with dyslexia in the 3rd grade. We were under the impression that it just affected reading/writing/spelling. But he has also struggled with language expression. When someone asks him a question, he has a pause time—so he can think through the question and form an answer. We found out that this is also a part of dyslexia. Our question is: Is there anything that can be done to help the pause time? So that it doesn't take as long for him to form his answers?

Please send information for young adults testing for dyslexia as well as providers, if possible. The evaluation is for my 25 year old son. When he was younger, he had several evaluations. School, for him, was always a struggle. After high school, he's been drifting and is wanting to complete college. We need to have a current testing composite for him. I'd prefer a comprehensive program like Boston Children's Hospital only for 25 + yrs. My son lives in Houston. Is there a specialist you recommend in Houston? Or, is there a comprehensive program in another city you highly recommend?

If one is Left-handed, but made to be Right, does that complicate this condition? My only child is Left handed, my brother is, and I was the 1st born in a large family- in the early 50's. thank goodness for spell check right click...

I am a licensed reading specialist with a master's degree in Reading and Literacy. I am preparing to do a presentation on dyslexia, and I am wondering if you know which states in the USA have passed and embraced legislation to recognize and treat dyslexia within the public school setting. I know Michigan only recognizes it as "specific learning disability".
