Hi I have been frantically searching for some glimmer of hope. We live in a small country town in Australia and after trying to enlist help for the last 5 years I finally went independant and found my 10 year old son was diagnosed with dyslexia last year. The local school said nothing short of there is no help we can give you. So the kids and I moved to the city (Perth) for the last nine months where he received tutoring and had a brilliant teacher that assisted him in so many ways. We have come back this year to our small country town and school has just started after 6 weeks of holiday. Last night he was in tears as all the other kids were able to read and he can't.I just don't know what else to do. I am home schooling him 1 day per week to try to give him strategies and understanding, but I just can't make it easy for him. What on earth can I do, I have spent the day crying coz I am at a loss. How do I make it better?
