I think DD has dyslexia. Now what?

Thanks everyone.

If it's a verbal/sound/language-based dyslexia (needs assessment!) then speech pathologists are a great way to go.

Just thought I would update this to let people know that she does indeed have dyslexia, and that we have a plan to move forward now. Thanks to those poeple who were able to help and offer advice.

[surprised]

That's great you've got somewhere to go in terms of helping her, although big hugs too!

Can I ask how you got her assessed in the end?

[misty]

We went through the Irelene center (I think thats what they are called) and they do assessments for dyslexia and Irlene syndrome. We done this all independantly, and will take the assessment and resources back to her school.

I'm glad you were able to get a definitive answer, and can now move ahead with some tools to help her!

[surprised]

Thanks misty!
