My DS4 is 9 and has always struggled with literacy, his reading, writing and spelling.
He is going in to year 5 next year and has the literacy level of year 2-3.
He had a wonderful teacher in year 1 and 2 who helped him a lot, she mentioned dyslexia to me then but told a diagnoses was not worth it as he would not get an aid.
But i am getting concerned he is falling further behind, he was in the SMILE and Multilit programs this year and did show some improvement.
I would like to get him assessed for a possible diagnoses as I think it would help and maybe possible open other resources to him.
I am not sure where to start, would it be GP?
The school does have a language development centre but I have been told he is to advanced in his use of language to be eligible.
I do feel he needs more help I am just not sure how to go about getting it.
Thx RB
