Listen to Kathleen'smum. She is wise and has been down this path twice. START NOW.

Are you in the US? If so you may be successful getting your school district to pay for/provide the remediation services. My DD (now 9) was identified coming out of Kindergarten. We wanted to send her to a lovely little private that sounds much like where you are now. They were not equipped to remediate dyslexia, though, and they knew it so they had parents contract with an OG tutor who came to the school daily. Tuition plus outside services was going to be *very* expensive (think paying for an expensive private university - out of pocket - from 1st grade on.) Our school district convinced us she *needed* to be in a public school in order to get all the services she would require.

Now finishing 3rd grade in out of district placement at a special Ed school where her entire day is interventions/AT and enrichment for the giftedness. The literacy specialist is using Wilson which seems to be working well. She is making progress on the AT. She gets speech and OT. No way the lovely little private could have done this for her. I am estimating the district is probably spending upwards of $80k for her this year alone.

So to repeat - START NOW. Also keep an open mind about the possibility of using FAPE to your advantage and look at your local public.

Good luck and welcome to the board!
