[quote=Anonymous]Completely depends on severity of dyslexia and response to OG and remediation. The kid needs to get reading capabilities and/or strategies for accommodations. I have dyslexia but was relatively mild. DC has more severe dyslexia and needed more focused remediation and OG and is always going to be a slower reader of texts and books - but that’s different than the intelligence and comprehension skills. In early years do as much reading remediation as young as possible til get to OG-3 level. Or if the kid really has severe dyslexia - Sienna. If the kid had more moderate to severe dyslexia and continues to need longer to do things, schools that give more work will obviously not be as good a fit unless the kid is ok with that extra hurdle. DC goes to a good but not big 3 school and is fine. 
Many schools and teachers even within schools where some get it still or never will understand that it’s about the speed etc of work and not smarts - and then that makes it harder on the kid - which sucks but is the reality. [/quote]
