[quote=Anonymous]We're new to the world of dyslexia.  DS is in 2nd grade.  He's made great strides with ADHD ... which then uncovered his dyslexia.  Right now he's in a homeschool-like private school that is an extremely supportive environment for him in everything related to ADHD, but his teacher has no background or resources with dyslexia.  We're planning to start him with an O-G tutor, but I would like to identify other resources for him as well.

Specifically, I'm looking for recommendations for text-to-speech software and I'm hoping to learn more about Learning Ally for audiobooks.  I would like him to get familiarity with basic text-to-speech capabilities.  Obviously he doesn't have a lot of homework, but I would like to start him on the technology before the homework starts so I'm looking for recommendations software and/or tutorials good for kids.  For Learning Ally, is the $115/yr also for people with an official dyslexia diagnosis?  And do they have audiobooks appropriate for a 2nd grader?  He has great comprehension but some adventure related themes popular with younger boys might be too scary for him.

Please also chime in if there are other topic areas that I haven't even thought of yet.  As I said, we're new to this ...
