[quote=Anonymous]If your kid was boarderline dyslexic earlier and ahas been doing well in school she may no longer test as dyslexic even though her brain wiring is characteristic of dyslexia. I’m dyslexic too and I am in my 50’s and now spell pretty well, have fine phonemic awareness, read with fluency and speed. My son was moderately dyslexic at 6 and 12, mildly dyslexic at 16. The things that remained are the poor working memory and executive functioning that arise from it, which often go along with dyslexia but are not necessarily part of everyone’s dyslexia. I would get your daughter the full psychoeducational testing. We did ours at The Treatment and Learning Centers in Rockville. However, even if her brain wiring is dyslexic she may not get that diagnosis at this point. Still, more information about how her brain works should be helpful to her.[/quote]
