[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My youngest was diagnosed in 2nd grade. It took until my oldest was in 5th to get diagnosed. I saw the signs but everyone at school told me he was fine. His 1st neuropysch was when he was in 1st grade and they didn't catch it at that time. So I would say definitely by mid year of 2nd grade. [/quote] Well the ideal and the reality seems to be different. Our neurophysch also said we should have caught it at 2nd grade, especially because the earlier it was caught the more time for intervention especially before getting into the upper grades where the workload in reading and writing really take off. We didn't catch it until 5th grade - I think it depends on the teachers, parents and how "severe" the dyslexia is. While my brother has dyslexia we all still missed the signs - we had no push to do a neurophsy in 2nd grade and I'm doubting we would have at 4K until the situation changed and it was obvious that there was an issue.
