[quote=Anonymous]I've had concerns about my child's potential dyslexia/dysgraphia for years now but my husband has only just now been convinced to allow me to go ahead with the testing (he's not happy about it). My child is behind in reading but we used tutors for 4 years and is better - I thought dyslexia (my FIL is dyslexic) but husband thought it was just lack of phonics instruction. She is also behind in math and we've been working with a math tutor for the past year who says she does great in tutoring, but might have slower processing times. My husband thinks it's just anxiety. So anyway there could be nothing going on, or there could be, and I am spending the money to get her tested before middle school. How do I frame the testing to her? So far, I asked "would you like to get tested to see how your brain works because everyone's brain works differently and if we find how your brain works, maybe we can also find better ways for you to learn?". And she was amenable to that. Any other suggestions before the testing sessions, especially since she'll be missing school for them?[/quote]
