 Hi there, I'm looking for support from other parents of severely dyslexic children.

My daughter has been officially diagnosed by the state authority and has been recognized by the school district. She in a program for dyslexic children run through the school district. We moved last summer so that we lived right in the area (and my son would be at the same school).

Just to give you an idea of how severe her case is - we are in a district with over 60,000 kids and she is one of three second graders.

She has a 504 plan and does get accommodations in school (verbal tests, no reading out loud in class..etc).

But things are still so hard. The program is not magic, not a quick fix.

Her IQ has been tested several times and she's very bright, in the top 5%, but her reading and writing are so poor.

I'm just looking for people to relate to. So many people tell me their child has dyslexia but are actually doing fine in regular classwork - that is not the situation we had. Yes I'm "lucky" the school did help us, but trust me, you dont want to be this "lucky".... :)
