[quote=Anonymous]I’ve worked in special education. Yes, neuropsych diagnoses can change over time. That’s part of the reason why families are advised to repeat them every three years. However, the symptoms your child is displaying don’t necessarily point to dyslexia. She could have low frustration tolerance or even embarrassment that’s motivating her to guess at words. Inattention and poor self-monitoring could also be causal. Also, some kids who have trouble transitioning into fully fluent reading lack skills for decoding multi-syllable words. In your shoes, I’d get a skilled reading tutor. Take what you would have spent on testing, and put it toward an action plan. The exact diagnosis isn’t as important to getting effective help as the symptoms your child is displaying.[/quote]
