[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't spend the money on a neuropsych evaluation and waste time getting an appt. Between scheduling and the testing and waiting for results, you could waste 6 months. You need to immediately look for someone trained in Barton, Wilson, or Seeing Stars to tutor your son. I bought Wilson reading (it was less than 500) and pay my son to do a lesson a day. His phonological processing scores were so low when we started- he had trouble rhyming and blending. A year later and he is doing great. He still can't rhyme well but his oral blending is fantastic and he has made so much progress in reading. He was behind in reading last year in second and getting intervention at school. They tested him and he qualified (so you know it wasn't good if the schools were willing to test without a fight). I didn't want special Ed because the special education teacher was new and knew nothing about dyslexia. I used to be a teacher so I decided to tutor my son, but really anyone with patience and a bribeable kid can teach Wilson if you do some research first. My son went from the lowest reading group to a middle of the pack reading group. [/quote]
