I met someone who runs a private reading clinic for children with dyslexia & related language difficulties when I was at a conference for SES providers. It is relatively close (1.75 hours away). We talked about her work & she was kind enough to share several techniques to try with dd12. She also offered a phone consultation. This lady has worked with dyslexic people for over 15 years & really had some great insight from her experiences. She helped me to see why dd12 has never developed a passion for any one thing like my my other two kids. It's as if she is trying to get from point A to point B but is always being led off the road or having a roadblock put up in front of her. It must be completely confusing & frustrating. So we put the accommodations in place to get her around the roadblocks & work on remediation to get her back on the road. Then she should be able to see her way much more clearly & begin to develop those interests.
