[quote=Anonymous]My kid was diagnosed with dyslexia in 1st grade, and he also hated going to school by that point. He hated himself, thought he was stupid, it was just awful. He was (still is) at a private, and while they were sympathetic and supportive they did not provide any of the help he needed. The first year my son did 3x week intensive tutoring, then 2x week for the next two years. It was expensive and tiring. If I had it to do all over, and if there was a specialized school near by, yes, I would move him. Dyslexia doesn't just impact reading, it impacts math and working memory AND reading. My kid is one of those 2E kids with a deficit and huge strengths, but in school he comes out average. Now that his reading is remediated teachers don't see him as dyslexic, and so they think he's just an average kid with average intelligence. He's actually a really smart kid who works his tail off to stay in the middle of the pack. Anyway, I think a specialized school would have served him better.[/quote]
