Lovingmom, as dhfl143 mentioned, it would help us to know more about your son's situation...As I understand it, Texas is the only state in the U.S. that does recognize the term "dyslexia" and they have specific programs for children who have that diagnosis. Was your child identified as dyslexic through a public school evaluation, or privately? Has the school seen the results yet? What recommendations did the evaluator give you?
Has he already repeated the first grade or is was he just retained and slated to repeat first grade this year? Please provide more background information.
Also, you may like to join and post at the "Learning and Attention Difficulties Group" here at Great Schools -- where you will find more parents of whose children also happen to have dyslexia and can provide the value of their personal experiences.
