Dyslexia Support Group

i don't know who has given this advice but if you ask me this person is talking absolute rubish i'm really upset by their advice.

I agree completely with tinkletelly - surely this was not the school? persevere with the school if so, because this is completely crazy....*sigh* .... he needs diagnosing as soon as possible !

Let us know what happens ... because whoever told you this doesnt know what they are talking about :(

It you are talking about the school system here, I think you would be in a position to bring this case to the attention of the local authority education body.

All the evidence shows that the earlier you seek to give extra tuition tailored to the learning difficulties associated with dyslexia the more positive the benefit will be.

I was told the same thing when I was at school, 'you can't get help your not bad enough' or 'we don't have the funding' its rubbish. My advice is don't take no for an answer keep asking, pushing and eventually they will do something.

Thank you all I will keep asking & pay if necessary. I will keep you posted.

I was eventually expelled from school for disruptive behaviour! this WAS a long time ago, but really, dont let him miss the opportunity for good schooling, I have luckily made up for this in later life in other ways but I wish so much I had learned at school......good luck!

For start i was in the same boat as your son is (he will be ok because he has a love dad).What they are tell you is wrong.The system is wrong.You can tell from a very young age if some one is dyslexic + ADHD.Try this site www.dore.co.uk I am doing this progamme and its works.Your son will have to be 7 before they can help because the mind is still developing.I have tried ever thing and this is the only thing thats help.Good luck to your son and to you.
