DD9 was diagnosed with dyslexia two weeks ago. We are stuck in limbo waiting for the psychologist's full report and suggestions for accomodations. The school is biting at the bit to get things in place. The principle emailed me yesterday to see if I could get our psychologist to call the school pysch for a verbal report so they can get the ball rolling. She now has a Fusion writer for her own personal use and it is amazing the difference it makes! More than any other accomodation in the history of her school career. It makes her smile when she talks about it. She no longer feels 'dumb' and does not have to make sentences only using words that she knows how to spell (her inventive spelling is often indiscipherable).
I am impressed with the school's eagerness to help. I figure we will get this sorted out before we go after them for enrichment. Hopefully, their attitude won't change!
