To all involved in either teaching or caring for or raising an individual with dyslexia; I salute you and thank you for your great work!

I am a mother of a 7 yo (Grade 1) dyslexic daughter. Like in many countries, South African perseption of dyslexia is very much a "shame" kind of response. Where we live we have no access to specialised education and had to make one of the hardest decisions to have our daughter live with my mother (who is a fantastic mainstream teacher). Our daughter is on a waiting list for a remedial school and is currently recieving great education in a private "main" stream school and she is passing. However her struggle is now becoming evident. Innitially (as I persieved it) she understood why she had to live away from mom and dad. But as the year goes on she is finding it harder and harder to be away. A remedial teacher has just moved to our small town (she is starting a private "school") and now I need to decide (again a change for her)do I bring her home or do I leave her away from us with the hope of her getting in at the established remedial school? My heart is broken in a million pieces as knowing what the best thing to do is not easy. If anybody has any advise, please respond.
I believe our dyslexics holds the key to so many issues in this world, if we empower them!!! Thank you inadvance for your compassion and advice! Alicia....
