[quote=Anonymous]We have had concerns about ds since he was 4-5, and have done different targeted testing, some early tutoring, and have talked with his teachers along the way. We even have spoken with a testing group who, at the time, told us to wait and see. 
So now he's in fourth grade, testing fabulously for reading and comprehension, but he is an incredibly slow reader, and is kind of paralyzed/freaked out when he has to read an level appropriate book. There are a lot of small things like that, which just has my gut telling me something is not right. He hs three older brothers, and none of them have struggled like this. 
He is very organized and very fastidious about getting all his work done, which I think might compensate for some of his difficulties. 
He never seemed phased by how long it takes him, but this year I feel as if his confidence is starting to wane.
I guess I'm looking for suggestions as to how to proceed. And any other advice. 
He is in dcps so I think we are looking into private testing.[/quote]
