[quote=Anonymous]We just got custody of him and sadly next to nothing was done previously  to help his dyslexia.  Right now we are in the process of enrolling him with a private tutor that specializes in dyslexia that will start tutoring him during spring break and continue through the summer for an hour and a half to 2 hours per day.  So once all that tutoring is done hopefully we can get him reading close to grade level.  His reading comprehension is great, his intelligence is good, it appears his issue is that he just cannot sound out or decode a new  word (or spell anything)  on his own.  He actually can read quite a bit just from what he has memorized.  So maybe if we get him up to speed privately,  and the fact that the middle schools and high schools don't do much for dyslexia anyway, maybe it wont matter so much which school he is in as long as it is a good school and they provide accommodations?  My concern now   is that once we are done with all this tutoring through the summer, won't he still need extra help with writing and grammar, etc?  if that is the case, will normal special ed tutoring suffice for that or will he still need dyslexia specific tutoring?[/quote]
