My son went through *many* evaluations before he was diagnosed with dyslexia. I have *no* idea why no one figured it out, because he has fairly classic symptoms. He was finally diagnosed by Fernette and Brock Eide when he was in 5th grade. Ironically, he was reading on a high school level at the time.
My son also has many other things that go along with the dyslexia: auditory processing disorder, vision problems that were helped by vision therapy, other sensory processing problems, motor planning problems, and attention issues.
I highly recommend the books Overcoming Dyslexia by Sally Shaywitz and The Mislabeled Child by Brock and Fernette Eide.
