SLI can effect “speaking, listening, reading, and writing...”

So if you have a pre-teen and have only done speech assessments, please realize how the brain work in language and communication is way more complicated than your n of one child.[/quote]

1/3, so that means 2/3rds don't.  Why do you assume that there are more issues and parents haven't done enough evaluations?  There are multiple ways to tell if a preteen is ok or not, including grades, test scores, personal observations and teacher/school observations.  If a child is reading well, well, before Kindergarten, most likely its not dyslexia.  [/quote]

DP.  A child can have excellent decoding skills but not comprehend what they are reading (hyperlexia), comprehension issues, trouble with inferences and pragmatics, inability to organize their thoughts (writing issues), etc.  Unfortunately, writing issues are usually not found until middle school or later since the focus in elementary school is more on reading not writing.
