Hi all,
We recently received assessment results for DS6. He tested as PG with dyslexia/dysgraphia. He is having trouble in school with reading/writing assignments, and general behavioral issues.
We are trying to sort out the best way to start addressing his dyslexia challenges, preferably without squashing his dyslexia strengths. The (public) school is maintaining their position that no services are available to him because he is performing at expected levels.
It seems we have many choices - private school for dyslexic learners; private tutoring with a dyslexia "program " (e.g. Lindamood Bell); hiring a tutor; doing things on our own at home.
We are open to any of the above, but not sure how to dial in what is the best path for DS. And we have so many questions - how do we find out his level of dyslexia? What are the right questions to find out if a private school or tutor is suitable for a 2e kid like DS. And in the back of our minds - what is his "prognosis."
I've provided his quantitative test results below. Any suggestion as to how to kick off?
Many thanks - and here are those numbers:
FSIQ (extended norms) 149
GAI (extended norms) 178
VCI(extended norms)- 188
PRI (extended norms) - 139
Working memory - 113
Processing speed - 94
Achievement test results (WIAT-III) were low relative to IQ:
Math Composite 135
Oral Composite 134
