[quote=Anonymous]Hi. I have had a nagging feeling over the past couple years that my child is dyslexic. No teacher has ever raised it, but I have dyslexia in my family, and my daughter often gets things backwards (whether it is mixing up the order of letters when she writes, to reading a second word before a first, or still mixing up her b's and d's). Every time we discussed at annual doctor's visits, our pediatrician said that was still developmentally appropriate until the last one when she gave me a list of about 30 child psychologists she said to call if I was concerned. She loves school and is reading on grade level, but I still see her making these errors and would like to get her assessed. She is now 8 years old and in FCPS. What is my best course -- should I ask the school for an assessment? Should I go for a private assessment (and if so, does anyone have any recommendations)? If she is determined to be dyslexic, what does that mean in FCPS elementary schools? How does the school address?

Thanks. [/quote]
