I have two sons with Dyslexia

My oldest was disgnosed by me at two but it usually is not diagnosed until abut second grade. He had LOTS of fine motor issues, a high IQ (you wouldn't know anything was different if you talked with him), and phonological issues. He had a tutor from first through fourth grade that was Orton-Gillingham certified/trained. He continues to need support and adaptations to his work at school.
My younger one is SLD however he has more of the autism traits but not enough for services so we settled on SLD (Severe learning disability). He has not had the Orton tutor since he is adapting well much better than | |
his brother.
I teach KGN and have sent those children I felt were SLD or Dyslexic to what some of you call "child study" to have testing done. It can be diagnosed early. Second through fourth grade is the most realistic time for that diagnosis.
