[quote=Anonymous]Pay attention, OP. Here is what the school is really saying:

1. We are a private school and not used to accommodating kids who need special stuff (in actuality, NO school likes to deal with dyslexia, even publics who are otherwise very good at dealing with ADHD, autism, etc).

2. Your kid might actually have dyslexia or ADHD or an actual diagnosis, so please get him formally tested. There are several different presentations of dyslexia, including some unusual ones, and specialized tutors are NOT experts. Psychologists with PhDs are the ones who diagnose dyslexia. You need an actual assessment with a psychologist who will give your child a battery of tests.

Please take this seriously, OP. My friend ignored all the warning signs and 10 years later, her teen requested an evaluation, and they found... dyslexia. Except now there's little anyone can do about it, and as a result, since every class depends on reading (even and especially math), academics has never been his strong point. Basically they destroyed their kid's potential.[/quote]
