[quote=Anonymous]My son was super verbal as a baby and toddler and curious and loved stories and books. He flew under the radar until 1st grade when he still couldn’t read at all. We had him tested and then started 3x/week specialized dyslexia intervention. Academic challenges popped up all through his academic career even after he could read on grade level. Mostly due to profound working memory deficits, which go along with his dyslexia but not every dyslexic has. The memory issues are much more challenging for his academic success than the phonological and orthographic deficits. Those we remediated - the working memory issue is forever (I’ve got it too - pain in the a$$). He is in college now and stressing that he’ll fail microeconomics. Sigh. That aside he is successful and happy, it’s just always a bit of a bumpy road.[/quote]
