[quote=Anonymous]Our DS slipped thru until 5th grade. We had suspicions in 2nd but they (MCPS) kept saying "he's a boy everything is fine." We asked to have him tested but because he was "proficient" they didn't. We moved him to a private school and low and behold the reading specialist pinpointed it- we are more than frustrated it went so long not treated and while I guess we should have done something outside of school we kept being told it was ok and of course we wanted to believe that as well. Thankfully he is now a year into tutoring Wilson and OG and we are seeing such great improvements its wonderful. The neurophych told us they should have been able to pinpoint the issue in 2nd grade - although he didn't follow in along with many of the early indicators for dyslexia. If you suspect something stand firm and have the testing done (work hard to get the school to do it but if they won't try the neuropysch testing - worse case scenario they don't find a problem, but if they do you have caught it early enough.[/quote]
