[quote=Anonymous]Can you say more about your daughter? Most dyslexic kids don't need a special school - I say this as a dyslexic myself and the mother of a dyslexic rising 5th grader. If she has covered her deficits thus far she probably isn't profoundly dyslexic, and my guess would be that you will be able to keep her in her normal school if she'd like. The major danger with dyslexic kids is that they feel crappy about themselves and their abilities, since they have to work so hard and they think they are dumb. Get a kid help, let them know they have different brain wiring that comes with positives and negatives, and they are much more able to deal with the ups and downs. Good luck, OP! Oh, and you might want to let your daughter check out the new Made by Dyslexia organization on Facebook - Richard Branson (dyslexic) started it to highlight the positive sides of dyslexia. My son likes seeing all the brilliant famous people who are also dyslexic.[/quote]
