My 6 year old son is in special ed kindergarten, and we think he has dyslexia. I talked to a dyslexia testing specialist and she said he definitely has it after an interview. So I'm looking into a neuropsych evaluation (he is supposed to have one due to ADHD), and I want dyslexia tested for as part of it. Can anyone make a recommendation as far as a neuropsych doc that is knowledgeable of dyslexia?

Second question: So far all I have heard that Gwinnett County schools are terrible about dyslexia. We are at Camp Creek. I heard that the online schools are wonderful for dyslexics, so we are applying to Georgia Cyber Academy. I would love to hear if we are doing the right thing, what is your experience. Thanks so much.
