[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP- Could you share your tutor details?  DC was DX with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and add.  High IQ so has been able to compensate and school missed it. (Did neuro on our own.)

Thanks![/quote]

I am the second PP with a DC with a similar make up and a large enough gap that he qualified for services.  We found our Wilson certified tutor through the reading specialist at our school. She led me to a fellow reading specialist at a nearby school and we contracted with her privately.  She was also experienced in many other reading programs and took DC on because of his profound issues.  If the local reading specialists  do not know, they can ask around their professional circle.  DC went to her 2-3 times a week from 2nd grade to mid-7th.  I would also recommend getting your DC up on keyboarding and scribing homework that DC can copy to practice keyboarding.

Whoever did the assessment is also a person to ask to get a recommendation for a tutor.  [/quote]

PP here- thank you.  The person who did the assessment was pretty useless- one of my big parenting regrets.  I'm navigating this without much guidance.  In your view, is Wilson or O-G critical background?  DC is seemingly mild on dyslexia/dysgraphia but I'm sure it's there.  Unclear if working memory/ add issues should be focus with writing organization, for example.  (Want to avoid overloading the kid!). Thanks![/quote]

If you're in VA, there is ECTutoring.  They provide a variety of tutoring services including Wilson certified tutors.  Wilson (or O-G) is critical to DS because he has severe dyslexia.  I don't know if it would be necessary for your DC or not but you can talk to them about finding a good match based on what your DC needs.

I will check them out.  Thanks so much![/quote]
