[quote=Anonymous]Op, if you think there is a gap between how you think your child should be performing and how they are performing on reading, do a neuropsych.

We did one for DC and it was helpful. DC can decode/do phonics, can figure out how to spell words, so doesn’t have dyslexia, but it did identify problems in some areas which are relevant to reading. DC does have problems with attention, and controlling their frustration/emotions, which also came out in the neuropsych.

DC is finally making significant progress on reading this year (first grade), but kindergarten made little progress. We moved DC to private school this year to get in-person learning, and I completely credit her teacher and the individual attention DC was able to get in a small class with the huge amount of progress made this year. I used to fight with DC for 30 min to do 15 min of reading. Now DC willingly reads (sometimes for 45 min!!!), but never voluntarily. Still loves for me to read to them.

In the end, DC does not have a traditional “learning disorder” but they do have several clinical characteristics of dyslexia and ADHD. This helps me understand that DC needs more support for reading/academics. [/quote]
