Problems With the School System About Dyslexia Posted: 08-31-07 09:54am
I have a 10 year old daughter that i feel
is dyslexic. I have had her tested through
her dr. and once through the school. The
dr agreed ...the school said she probably
was but they didn't want to "label" her as
dyslexic! She is currently in 5th grade
but i have been told she will be retained
if she doesn't pass the crct test this
year! I am very upset and need some good
advice.

They are still punishing dyslexics like
the olden days instead of correcting
disorientation and drawing out one's
strengths. Has she had a formal IQ test?
Also, with those some areas may be lacking
while others very high (such as in
visual-spatial matters). Reading problems
and such can be dealt with. Ron Davis'
book, "The Gift of Dyslexia" is key and
even provides the steps for the non-pro
helper. But a facilitator is best. Have
her undergo the 3 hour intake exam.
