My 16 year old daughters high school counselor called and stated that she had a writing assignment at school and that she might have some form of dyslexia. I asked what steps to take and he stated to contact the English teacher, which I did.I emailed her English teacher and she stated that she gave the writing sample to the counselor and it is out of her hands.
My daughter has struggled with spelling and sentence structure and with math. We currently have a tutor for math and she is doing well. Her grades are B's and C's. If infact she does have dyslexia and she is getting along, what will she be if she does get help.
I don't want to get the run around at school. I would appreciate any input how to go about getting help.
