[quote=Anonymous]Get a neuropsych under medical if you can - we went to Kennedy Krieger...eventually cost 600 bucks (I think 3500 to 4000 without insurance).  Know that if you are in public school all of them use a wait to fail model.  Meaning they won’t do anything until 3rd grade - and even then, teachers are not neurological geniuses.  They just want the easiest day possible in public schools (they are union members after all).  So, after the neuropsychology results come back you will need to move towards tutoring - depending on severity this will mean 3x a week or more.  To find a pro tutor go to the Atlantic Seaboard Dyslexia Educational Center (ASDEC).  They are in Rockville - of course MCPS doesn’t use them for teacher training - but they are great.  You can find a tutor or take classes yourself to help your child.  My advice - hire a tutor.  So much emotional suffering comes from not keeping up with your peers you are going to have to be a good source of nurturing for your child.  Then donate to Decoding Dyslexia- so they can keep up the long fight against our criminally corrupt public school systems.[/quote]
