I am very confused by my daughter’s test scores. She has had the Differential Ability Scales and the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test done at school and yesterday she had the CTOPP and the GORT done by a reading specialist. I am not sure if she has dyslexia or not, but something is going on. The school testing showed average intelligence, high oral language and comprehension, average decoding and low reading comprehension, visual processing and rapid naming scores. I am thinking of doing one-on-one tutoring with a Barton tutor for her. Do you think this sort of program would benefit my daughter with these scores?

I have a 3rd grader with suspected dyslexia, and I'm curious about an evaluation. Can I please get information on how this works, cost, whether or not I need a doctor’s referral, does insurance cover this, etc?

Yesterday my son had a neurological exam and the doctor determined that he is dyslexic and has ADHD. Although I knew this in my heart I still feel overwhelmed. He is seven years old and so behind. I researched tutoring in our area and found a recommended center. I'm worried that we will not be able to afford the cost. We live a no frills life, but are not in need. I'm wondering if you can point me in a direction that will be easier on my family's finances while still helping my child succeed.

For the past year I've suspected my daughter may have dyslexia. I requested that her school district test her for a learning disability and they found nothing. When I specially asked about dyslexia they said testing for dyslexia was done under the realm of specific learning disabilities (SLD) and she did not meet criteria. She is now in third grade and continues to struggle with all of these tasks. Can you please advise me on how I can get her properly evaluated for dyslexia either outside of or through the school district? Can you please inform me as to what the diagnostic process is like and what kinds of test I can expect.

I am looking for a list of psychologists that know how to evaluate for dyslexia. Can you please sent me any information?

My son is 9 years old and in the 3rd grade. His teacher and principal have suggested that we have a "comprehensive child study" done to evaluate, understand, and help with his issues. I am having trouble finding resources where this evaluation and diagnosis could be performed. Can you provide a contact or point me in the right direction for an evaluation and diagnostic testing?

My daughter is eight years old and is in third grade. She is a very bright girl. In school, she is very enthusiastic about things like science and math, but has consistently been behind at reading. At present, she is reading about a grade level behind. She spells phonetically. She is able to express herself verbally, but has trouble with writing. When reading out loud, she seems to be trying so hard, but the words just don't seem to flow naturally for her. Based on this, and various other reasons, I suspect my daughter may be dyslexic.

I am a little overwhelmed with my daughter’s school this year and was wondering if I could get some information about getting the school to provide additional assistance or information about schools that are more experienced in helping a child with dyslexia. My daughter is in 4th grade, very well behaved, and has many strengths out of basic classroom skills and reading. She has been getting services out of the classroom for language arts and math the past 3 years, learning phonics/foundations.

My husband and I are looking for someone to evaluate our daughter for dyslexia in Michigan. But we are having trouble getting professionals to listen and understand our concerns. Do you have any doctors or resource centers you recommend?

I have an eight year old daughter with dyslexia. I am trying to get some advice on software or books and teaching materials to help her at home. I found the Nessy software and the reviews seem to be good. I would like to get the absolute best program even if it a professional version. Is there any advice you can give me...or point me towards someone who could help me set up a home program for her?
