[quote=Anonymous]My child was diagnosed a few years older in part because they were also so good at compensating. Basically my daughter read purely through memorization and could not sound out/decode works. OG tutoring has been very helpful. She does it 3 times a week. It is expensive and a commitment but it has paid off. We interviewed several tutors and everyone recommended at least 2 times a week. The main accommodations my child uses are extra time and the use of audio books/recordings for long reading assignments. She goes to a mainstream private school and does not receive any pullouts during the school day. The confidence issues can be tricky. That's where having a diagnosis actually helped because she understood she was not struggling because she wasn't smart but because she had a learning disability. At first she didn't want anyone to know but has gotten more comfortable with it especially as she has seen the results from the OG tutoring. [/quote]
