[quote=Anonymous]It isn’t too young to diagnose dyslexia, though not all psychs will do so before 1st. Either the brain wiring is there or it’s not. Intervention in K can re-wire the brain, though, and essentially act as prevention so the dyslexia never has the environment to develop, if that makes sense. If your kid is flagged as a struggling reader, get intervention. The school probably won’t provide support in time. One way to find a very high quality tutor would be to go the the website for the Academic Language Therapy Association (ALTAreads.org) and use their search. They have a database of Certified Academic Language Therapists by state, and you can look to find one near you. A CALT will be able to select the right intervention for your kid. The credential is the gold standard for reading instruction.[/quote]
