#1-Contact International Dyslexia Association on-line. Great resources in every state.

#2-Contact the Neuhaus Center in Houston,TX and they can help with other resources (i.e. get your on dyslexia specialist who is certified) Look for "CALT".

#3-The Briarwood School in Houston, TX has at least 5 new students a year from 1st grade to 10th grade that move from out of state just to attend this school.

#4-Remember you can't change a school district but you have the power of changing your child's life by finding and funding private services yourself.

I have walked the walk and talked the talk. I have 2 boys (17yrs old and 8yrs old) that have different types of Learning Differences (I don't call them disabled just different). Such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, auditory processing disorder, adhd. I think I covered them all.

Now I am much more at ease b/c I know there is help out there such as dyslexia specialists, Technology (RFBD and Kurzweil 3000),

Now that we are looking at colleges you would be amazed how much help there at the colleges themselves. I guess they realized how much federal funding there is for IDEA and Section 504. LSU has a great program!!! Texas Tech very good!! The Neuhaus Center has information on all this.

If I can help anyone else you can email me chris@iwjg.com
