Dyslexia diagnosis from what I am seeing on these post primarily comes from a parent who has read, researched and found private testing.
This is the case for my son. We had concerns early on and then pushed for our own solutions and testing. He was diagnosed by 8. He is a trooper and can hang in there however, the stress of public school and all the readig based testing, school/homework, and AR reading and test are very overwhelming. We are starting to see the signs of the stress and have concern. No matter how much you educate the school system and individual teachers it does not change the day to day operations of the school and the conformity to fit the dyslexic in the system. It takes both of his parents in and out and emailing daily to assure he can be accommodated and not singled out. Any advice on public school and testing? It is only getting worse with all the higher grades of end of course testing. It does not appear that any state has accommodated reading in standardized test. They are still required to read the reading sections without modifications. Let me know of any advice.
