[quote=Anonymous]We did a private evaluation for our daughter and it is worth it. It's very comprehensive. In fact, we did not even know our daughter had dyslexia since she was reading on grade level, but it was found through the evaluation which we initially sought for adhd and dyscalculia.  If your daughter does have dyslexia, then in addition to private tutoring, you'll want her to have an IEP in school and in order to get the IEP, you need the evaluation. I wouldn't wait for the school. If you can, go for the private evaluation and present that to the school and the process will move more quickly. Our evaluation only took a few days and within a week we had a the results, so you wouldn't  have to wait long if you wanted to have that in had first before beginning the intervention for dyslexia.   You'll want someone well trained in reading intervention for dyslexia, which is usually the Orton Gillingham method and they'll want to see what type of dyslexia she has--I had no idea how complex dyslexia is.  Our daughter receives private intervention (I wouldn't really call it tutoring) through Imagine Possibility in Rockville. They're wonderful and super well-versed in dyslexia learning needs. [/quote]
