[quote=Anonymous]In my opinion we waited too long relying on the public schools to help us with our son. Struggle, struggle, struggle with reading, writing etc. Moved him out of public after they continued to say he is fine - he will catch up etc. 5th grade we had him tested - sure enough dyslexia. Facing middle school well behind his peers his stress level went thru the roof - he couldn't keep up with the reading and writing expected. We got him a tutor for dyslexia - going twice a week all summer long and he's doing better but still requires extra time for reading and writing. Please don't wait for the school to help you - be proactive. We noticed something was up in 1st grade but relied on the teachers telling us "he's a boy" they can't spell, the are slow to read ....." I wish we had gone with our gut on this. His self esteem is in the toilet which is really hard in Middle school where there is so much comparing to your peers. [/quote]
