When I first approached the school with the problem of dyslexia in my 7 year old son, I was told how I needed to quit “coddling him.” I was also told that “he needed to take responsibility of his own homework.” The psychologist discussed with me every problem of the child’s development except for the dyslexia. In the state I live in the public school system does not believe dyslexia and since the child is also ADD the program outlines focus on the ADD and not the dyslexia. I was also told that the child did not have dyslexia and he needed to work harder on his homework and quit being so “lazy.”
