The dyslexia was diagnosed with a private neuropsych evaluation. I really went there with mostly reading issues, but that was end of 3rd/early 4th grade. We were screened for ADD but they didn't think further screening should be pursued. The writing problems weren't really looked into at that time. Now his school is asking if we screened for ADD. I really don't think that is the issue.
Issues in school are:
writing
reading - decoding/spelling
spelling
grammar
daydreaming/zoning out
organization
turning in work
It seems like lots of diagnoses have similar symptoms. I think maybe switching to keyboarding might be a good idea for him. Also, changing the expectations and helping him with organization.
I really don't want to pay for additional testing, but will if my son would benefit from another therapy. Also, I just checked, my vision screening did check for those issued. My sister is an optometrist, so it was easy to ask her
