[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if his IQ is low average - like 85? - remediation may take a very very long time. This is my son. It took about three-four years. We did asdec. Your son likely needs one on one instruction. [/quote]

Dyslexia is hard! My son has an IQ of 118 and it took him three years of twice or thrice weekly one-on-one tutoring, with intensive work in summer, to go through his OG program. He reads at grade level now in high school, but he was below grade level until recently.[/quote]

Yes, amazing, good for your son, but for children like mine and OP’s, who said her child had low average iq, there are also other iq issues at play. It will take longer. Your child has a high iq. That’s great. [/quote]

I’m sorry, my message wasn’t helpful the way I wrote it. What I wanted to communicate is that the level of intensity of tutoring needs to be so much higher than OP is being offered now. I was trying to illustrate that the threshold of what effective remediation looks like is way higher than what schools want to offer, and sometimes we parents don’t know that until we hear from other parents what they are doing.

For what it is worth, my kid has working memory in the single digit percentile, so he has less ability to learn than kids with much lower IQ but solid working memory. IQ is only one part of ability to learn. I wish you and OP (and your kids) the best.[/quote]
