[quote=Anonymous]I'm a tutor and every year a bright kid comes to me for tutoring and after a couple weeks it is clear to me that they are dyslexic. I advise the parents to get the kid assessed. Assessment comes back - dyslexic and often also ADHD Inattentive, although I have had students who were diagnosed only as dyslexic. Bright dyslexic kids can compensate all the way thru HS without raising any alarm bells at school, whose response has usually been to dismiss the kid as "not smart" or "unmotivated" without further thought. These kids are usually working incredibly hard to stay afloat, but at a certain point the volume and complexity of reading demands overwhelms their ability to compensate. See if you can help your kid by using text to speech reading supports. [/quote]
