[quote=Anonymous]October is Dyslexia Awareness Month.  If you have a child who you think should be reading, or reading more fluently, it can help to know other signs of dyslexia.  Many public schools will not test for it until 3rd grade, but warning signs can be detected and intervention can and should begin much earlier than that.  Dyslexia is often inherited; many parents only recognize it in themselves once their children are diagnosed.

Local resources for dyslexia:
International Dyslexia Association -- http://www.interdys.org/SignsofDyslexiaCombined.htm (information for parents / professionals)
Atlantic Seaboard Dyslexia Education Center -- ASDEC.org (training for academic therapists)
DCIDA.org -- local branch of International Dyslexia Association -- local advocacy & workshops for parents and professionals
Decoding Dyslexia VA, Decoding Dyslexia MD -- https://www.facebook.com/DecodingDyslexiaVirginia, https://www.facebook.com/DecodingDyslexiaMd -- parent-run organization to improve reading instruction in schools

These organizations will also have links to schools specifically for kids with dyslexia and other FAQ's.
