[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a child with high IQ and dyslexia. They benefited most from one on one OG tutoring outside of school with learning accommodations, eg. time on tests, and voice to text on assignments, for school. We did not trust the school to perform the interventions.

It’s expensive, but if you can afford it I think best to pay for one on one tutoring from at least 2nd through 5th grade. I’d do that before saving for college if it is a trade off, it’s that important to intervene while you can. By doing it one on one you can focus on what your individual child needs.

Best of luck, none of this is easy.[/quote]

Completely agree. DD is also high IQ and has dyslexia and ADHD.

We started 1:1 tutoring as soon as DD was diagnosed at the beginning of 1st grade. We combined it with an OG curriculum at her school and small group pull-out sessions with the reading specialist.

She is entering 2nd right on the cusp of grade level. We will be continuing with all that intervention for as long as necessary.

PS: I saw a discussion of visual-spatial reasoning above. My kid does have visual-spatial reasoning that is too high to be captured on a test. Her idea of a good time is to do a completely clear puzzle. She never uses the picture for puzzles (even 200-300 piece ones) because she said it makes it way too easy.

This is quite the journey because she’s so far ahead in some areas, but behind in others.[/quote]
