My 7 year old son has been professionally diagnosed with the early symptoms of dyslexia. We have provided this informaiton to his elemantry school but have recieved a considerable amount of push back from the staff. The arguement they make is that he is doing well with his learning and maintaining good grades. We have noticed, however, that our son comes home from school complaining about how hard it is for him. We are concerned that his potential for higher learning is being inhibited by his dyslexia and that because the school is not providing adequate, specialized, instruction as it relates to his dyslexia, he may become discouraged and fall behind. My question is what can I request (demand - although I hate to use that word) from the school or, what is he entitled too? Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
