In Texas the school system tests the children in
K and 1st. A simple 1/2 hr test will find a diagnoses and start intervention immediately, unlike our schools in Los Angeles. I had no idea what was going on with my son, nor did I know where to go. The schools will not diagnose your child as they will have to pay for more services. They would rather fail your child and push them on to the next grade. By the time these children are in 5 th grade they give up. Get a professional diagnoses outside of your school system, then look into Linda Mood Bell program or Susan Barton. I used both and my son can read, but he is making up for the serious lack of intelligent intervention in public school. BEWARE,
do not put this off. Your child will suffer if you don’t take matters into your hands.Good luck and never give up on your child.

As dislexics I feel we see the whole field.. we see the trees at the side, and the sky and its details and we see the birds looking down from above…its just trying to focus in one row of the crop that its hard and trying to put it in the right words in what we see.:)

Does anybody know what is the earliest age a child can be diagnosed with dyslexia?
