My 19 year old son has ADHD and dyslexia. He was not diagnosed until this month. Needless to say he struggled through high school as a result. He is now on medication to help with his ADHD and wants to attend college to become a teacher. He never had an IEP in high school as the school was not equipped with those resources. How do we go about approaching college and getting him the resources and tools that he needs to be successful? I don’t know where to start.

I was diagnosed with dyslexia when I was 7 years old. I am now graduated from college and now just hit reality. I am fighting with my dyslexia and getting a job. I have had school back me this whole time with all the help they gave but now in the real world I'm on my own and I have not truly accepted my severe dyslexia. I don't know how employers will take it if I tell him I have dyslexia. I feel like I won't be able to fully do what I need to for the job.

Some professionals claim types or subtypes of dyslexia; however, none of the scholarly research I’ve read is convincing. What is your perspective on the “types of dyslexia”?

Can someone who is lower functioning and cannot read be considered dyslexic? Where does IQ fall into defining if someone is dyslexic?

I support the special education teachers and students in our county. I am trying to learn more about dyslexia so we can improve our instructional practices. The question I am not finding answers to is what format for testing academic areas is the best for students with dyslexia. Our general education teachers are willing to change the way they currently test to accommodate our needs, but I am not sure what the best method is.

I am a university professor, and I occasionally have students with various reading difficulties ask me about possible avenues of support. DyslexiaHelp lists a number of reading, spelling and writing programs for help with dyslexia. Are there any particular programs that you recommend over others?

I’ve been an educator since 1979 and have worked with learning disabled and dyslexic students from kindergarten to adults. I am trained in Orton-Gillingham. I was surprised that you make no mention of this exceptional program on your dyslexia website. Please share why it was omitted.

I am a college graduate and really struggled my last year with large amounts of reading and timed exams. As I have gotten older, I have become interested in going back to school for my MBA. However, the GMAT required for admission is timed and I am currently testing terribly. Any and all suggestions on companies and programs that have great proven results would be appreciated. I need to build my reading skills and get my intellectual confidence back up.

I have been looking at these fonts but can't say how good these are for use in documents that dyslexic people read. Here they are: Spartan MB,Gothic A1. Are these good fonts? Thank you for reviewing and assessing these.

Is there a difference in dyslexia testing protocols for children (7–12 years) versus teens (13–17 years) versus adults (18–21 years)?
