[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish we noticed earlier, but DS was good at masking the problem. He was recently diagnosed with dyslexia and now we're readjusting our expectations about what his education should look like. If anyone else has a story of getting a diagnosis at this stage, I'd be curious to hear what you did next. Years of intensive tutoring? IEP? Private school (we're currently in public)? I feel like an idiot for not catching it sooner, and all the literature refers to second grade as a sort of magical cut off for successful early intervention. It feels very discouraging.[/quote] Op, at least you know now. A lot of these people never had their dyslexia identified until they were adults: http://dyslexia.yale.edu/success-stories/ The good thing is there are good resources in this area. Schools like lab, Siena, kingsbury, jemicy, commonwealth--for school, camp, or tutoring. Look up ASDEC too.[/quote]
