[quote=Anonymous]My DD was diagnosed until 5th grade and we spent two years on intensive reading tutoring. She hated every minute of it. She has done really well in school in spite of the dyslexia/dyscalculia and often doesn't want people to know because the first reaction is she is not smart (which is not the case). She is athletic which has helped since it is something she is very good at. She has tons of friends and has had no issues socially. Accommodations have helped (but she does not like to use them). She is excited about college. The thing that has been helpful is when she learns a friend is also dyslexic- which comes out because of a teacher not giving accommodations.[/quote]
