[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi Op - very similar story here. In 2nd grade we worked with a great ASDEC tutor 4x a week. Progress was slow but there was progress. We had great teachers that were trying. Fast forward to third grade and everything fell apart. The teacher did not understand my child’s challenges and my child also really became aware of her own challenges. My once happy kids began to cry in the mornings before school and was just generally down. The school also dropped the ball on consistently pulling her out and having an aid push in when needed. My kid is severely dyslexic but bright so she was fully aware of how behind she was falling. Confidence took a huge hit even though she had a tight group of friends. We took her out mid year and enrolled her in a private school for dyslexia. You could visibly see the relief she felt that first week. Progress is still slow but she loves school and has made new friends. She is in her second year there now  and loves it. I feel like her soul was saved. I don’t know if it’s rigorous enough academically but we will get there. I just hope we can continue to pay for it for a few more years because I don’t think a large public school works. [/quote]

Op: Thanks for replying. What school did you move her to? Do you still have her go to tutoring with the ASDEC tutor? [/quote]
