[quote=Anonymous]My daughter, who is now 14, has dyslexia and dysgraphia.  Very early on in preschool, I noticed she had issues recognizing letters and numbers and writing them.  She also could tell me individual sounds ("what does an "S" sound like?" "sssss"), but could not blend two sounds together to phonetically sound out words.

We got her neuropsych evaluation at Children's Hospital the summer before she started first grade, but I wish I listened to my intuition and not the school and teachers and got her evaluated sooner.  The have a long waiting list so I would go ahead and call now to get on the list.  It was almost entirely covered by insurance.  If things improve, you can always cancel.  http://childrensnational.org/departments/neuropsychology-outpatient-evaluation-program.

The reason I wish I got her seen sooner is that her self confidence really suffered when she would look around the classroom and see what other kids could do that she could not.  If she understood why she was struggling (in age appropriate terms), I think that would have gone a long way in helping her.
