Teenager Who Is Declassified Posted: 10-24-06 15:30pm
I am a mother of a son was tested and
determined that he is dyslexic in the the
3rd grade. Till middleschool he was
recieving help and was classified. He
was then retested and it was determined
"he no longer was dyslexic" hence
declassified.
For the last year I have struggled with
the school for resourse, cause although my
son barely passed thier test, he sits on
fence, and needs constant help just to
maintain an above passing grade.
What I have found is that my son has
compensated enough to pass their test, but
he still needs major help.
He is now failing just about everything in
7th grade. Not only is his self esteem
waivering, but I see a child who is now
crumpling.
I am in constant battle with the school
system. I finally got him removed from
spanish.
Is this happening to any other children
out there, once they reach middle school.
Does anyone have any advice?

Check out the "Am I Dyslexic" forum. I too
had problems in school, but am still
needing some major help. Good luck!
first of all what they have done is out of
order if the test said that your son was
dyslexic, then im affraid he will be all
his life there isnt a cure. my mum had the
same problem with me in middle school my
teacher said he throught i was dyslexic
but my headtecher refused to help or have
anything to do with it, until he had no
choice when she went above his head and
complained to the school board.
i then attend 2 schools in the morning one
for my dyslexia and my normal school in
the afternoon and it really help me
spelling and reading. i still ave bad dys
and make what my partner thinks is stupid
mistakes but i dont let it stop me doing
anything, you need to reasure your son
that hes just as brainy as the next kid
its just that he needs to find ways of
helping him put it on paper, and not to
let it get him down.
