Text Color: Font: Close Marks

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a font that is easier for students with dyslexia to read. You will have to Google that as I can’t remember what it is.  I’d print something in that font and see if that helps her while you are waiting to get an evaluation.

Also ask if she sees (consistent) color in the letters/numbers. If she has synesthesia, learn about that.

But get her evaluated.

Not sure this was ever proven valid.  But concur on evaluation - by yourself.  Yes it is expensive but you will get the best that science has to offer.  Places like MCPS - god I hope you aren’t in that school district - might give you a test but it is suboptimal.  Good luck!  My dyslexic is second semester in high school.  It has been a long, challenging road with a lot of violations in Federal law along the way…[/quote]

Thank you, and I’m so sorry it’s been a tough road for you and your son. DD is in a private school in MoCo. We are engaging with her school, but they’ve been said they aren’t equipped to evaluate for LDs. We are planning on reaching out to ASDEC on Tuesday. [/quote]
