[quote=Anonymous]Who did the most recent testing level? The school? A clinician? What was their process? Was there a process for  testing or were they just observing your child read early in the school year? What type of school is it public, private, specialized? Is it an academically strong school or one that is used to recognizing potential Learning disabilities? I would give it a few more months and then see what the school says. It may also be useful to take the child off medication for a short while and see how the reading is and maybe just  assess before and after. It's also possible the testing was wrong, people spend a lot of money on private testing and sometimes the testing just doesn't fit the child especially those with attention or language issues. And it's possible the child was just a late reader. But it can go both ways. We know someone who had a child  who was not a late reader but a slow one that was tested by the school system and they missed the dyslexia which became a much bigger problem in middle school.  Interestingly,we moved from a small private to a very good public and are finding out that some of our child's grade level skills aren't as good as the previous school said it was. Not saying the school is inaccurate, but just watch it for awhile. Hopefully everything is good! Sounds like your child has made great progress. [/quote]
