My DS5's teacher said that she suspects dyslexia. He has an older brother who is dyslexic. We will be homeschooling DS5 next year. My question is: should I just start using an OG tutor with my DS5 now? Is there any benefit to having him wait until he gets tested first? I called a couple of testers and they said to wait until DS5 is at least 7, to test for dyslexia. One of my concerns is that if I start OG with him now, then when he is tested in 2-3 years, he will not appear dyslexic and therefore, will not receive needed accommodations down the road. But if I start the tutor now, he will have the benefit of learning the way he needs to learn. (No, I don't want to teach him to read now, but he is begging to learn and his teacher, who has a lot of experience herself with dyslexia, says that she "strongly" suggests dyslexia.)
