[quote=Anonymous]It was a huge relief for my DC to find out that he had dyslexia. It was 2nd grade and you could see his whole body relax. He, also, would not listen to his mom. However, he had a few teachers in ES that praised him at the right time and then he started gaining confidence in his abilities. It was in science and math where he excels and where he got his confidence. I firmly believe we have to support their strengths as well as remediate their weaknesses. It is in their strengths that they will find their path forward. If you haven’t read Sally Shaywitz’s book, “Overcoming Dyslexia”, I highly recommend it. She is a leading dyslexia researcher at Yale. I also recommend wrightslaw.com to learn about IEPs, 504s and navigating schools. [/quote]
