• 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.

  • My son is 13 years old. He recently had a psycho-educational assessment, which showed he is severely dyslexic. Navigating all the different intervention programs has been challenging. The psychologist suggested an intensive program, but locally there are very little resources. I have looked at the Rewards and Language Live program and am more inclined to the Language Live program. Considering his age, any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • We are testing an eighth grade girl at our school for dyslexia. She is a straight-A student, but her parents said this girl spends hours and hours trying to get homework done because of how slowly she reads. Her teachers said she hates reading aloud in class but is a stellar student. Her IQ is Average (WISC-V) in all areas including processing speed and working memory. Her naming speed for both letters and digits is average but her Symbol Translation was ‘Very Low’ (78) and her Storage and Retrieval was ‘Low Average’ (81). Does this seem to fit the Dyslexia profile? Any direction is appreciated!

  • I’m not asking for a diagnosis, just some help finding information about students with dyslexia whose first language isn’t English. Can you refer me to any strategies or research that look specifically at this type of student?

  • 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.

  • I am wondering if a child with a low IQ could have dyslexia? So much of what we've learned is that dyslexia is when kids with normal or high IQ scores struggle with reading and spelling. Our daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia, but others have told us she does not have it.

  • My daughter is in 6th grade and has been now clinically diagnosed with moderate dyslexia. I'm trying to get help for her through her school. The last 3 years she's been failing subjects and not meeting IEP goals. I wanted her to attend a dyslexic academy, however, her school now said they have the Sonday Reading program. Will this program also serve as an effective alternative for a moderate dyslexic? I know it depends on each person, but I would like to know if you have information regarding this program.

  • My question is this: Is the APD diagnosis further evidence of his dyslexia or is APD a secondary condition that could occur independently of my son's dyslexia?
