[quote=Anonymous]PP: I wanted to add, we chose to focus very heavily on intervention after the diagnosis. One of the most helpful pieces of advice I received early on was not to rely on the school alone for remediation.

There are three other children in my child’s grade with the same diagnosis. Each family made thoughtful but different choices based on their child’s needs. One family pursued tutoring once or twice a week. Two others chose to prioritize sports as a way to build confidence and self-esteem, which has clearly been a strength for their children.

I don’t believe there is a single “right” approach, and I don’t share this to judge any of those decisions. What I can say is that, for our child, intensive early intervention made a significant difference. She is now reading chapter books for pleasure — something that felt out of reach in second grade, when she often came home in tears because she couldn’t read at the same level as her classmates. From my understanding, her other dyslexic classmates still struggle with reading. [/quote]
