My ds was diagnosed with a form a dyslexia that results in horrible spelling.  He is able to read very well (decode), but has poor writing (encode).   And reading did not come easy to him, but he did eventually figure it out and now reads at a high level.

We paid out of pocket for testing at Mindwell.  It showed a very specific phonological processing disorder.  It was helpful to understand what was going on with him.  [/quote]

Is there a name for that type of dyslexia? I have dyslexia in my family and have wondered about myself because I just can’t learn to spell although I have always been a good reader. Probably doesn’t matter at this point but it’s been back on my radar as I’m noticing a real difficulty in learning letters for my younger one (bizarrely numbers are fine).[/quote]

I don’t know.  Maybe someone else does.  Every time I think I understand the different categories, it seems like they change, or it depends on the profession of the person you’re speaking with.  [/quote]
