[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think testing is over rated and takes too long. Pour all that money into tutoring! You know your child is not a on grade level. What is the reading tutor doing with your child? Is it intensive phonics? If they advanced from k level to beginning of second in one year with the tutor, maybe increase tutor to three times a week.

I agree.  Deal with the reading problem not the diagnosis.

A good tutor will customize instruction to remedy your child's weaknesses.  Maybe the remedy is a little different for a dyslexic, maybe not.  Either way intensive tutoring will be the solution.  Three times a week in your home if you can afford it.  Make sure the tutor is OG trained and experienced.

An expensive neuropsych evaluation might allow you to make demands of your school.  If that is not your goal, spend the money on tutoring.  BTW, the tutoring is not forever.  Get your child up to grade level then move on.  Your DC only has to learn to read once.[/quote]
