[quote=Anonymous]Private school won't help either, and then you'd have no money left over for any of the tutoring that mattered, OP. The psychologist or developmental pediatrician who diagnosed your kid should have written down suggestions for you.

What you need to do is get your kid a one-on-one Wilson or Ortham Gillingham tutor, sit in for the sessions, research the training yourself, read the materials and repeat exactly what they do, at home, for extra training. Dyslexia, like dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and a lot of other disorders, can be improved dramatically by dint of repetition of the methods that work. No one can afford round the clock tutoring. Parents need to make it a priority to practice at home as often as humanely possible.

So you need to pay for that kind of specialized tutoring, and make time to practice on your own with your kid. Both of those things. The more intensely you work, the quicker your kid will catch up, and the less impact his dyslexia will have on his education and development.

The expert who diagnosed your child might have some insight as to which methods might work best with your child, but you too, can do the research and decide to start with the one that seems to be the better fit. Wilson is said to be more structured, OG more flexible.  There are others out there.
