[quote=Anonymous]Another option to consider- some Orton Gillingham-style reading tutors also do testing to track progress. So if you really can't swing a full evaluation, you could start there to address the apparent immediate need to improve decoding/ reading. They do the testing to track progress in their curriculum. They can't diagnose, but an experienced tutor could tell you if your daughter's pattern of skills fits a typical dyslexic profile. Even non-dyslexic kids can benefit from the OG style of tutoring, so I wouldn't be worried about any negative impact from an inappropriate intervention. And really bright kids without attention issues can make some substantial progress over the summer which helps with the self-esteem issues too. I would still work to get the full evaluation to support getting an IEP in place etc. But during the summer those activities in Fairfax County happen at "Summer Clinic" and that has been terrible in my experience.[/quote]
