Hi Kathleen'smum -
I see you are in Canada, and the laws are different regarding mandates for special ed instruction. Here is a good conversation between folks in Canada that may give you some ideas and guidance: http://millermom.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=Education&action=display&thread=8653

I have learned from various forums that SLP (speech and language pathologists) are most often the practitioners in Canada that deliver OG and similar reading instruction. I wonder if the non-profit tutoring program is through he Masons? If so, they are known to be very good - but yes, long waits. Perhaps you could contact them and they would have a list of private tutors?

As far as good resources:

"Overcoming Dyslexia" Sally Shaywitz
"Straight Talk about Reading" Hall, Moats

Best of luck - getting a diagnosis is an important first step. My fingers are crossed that your school district will be responsive.
