• As a teacher, I am seeking resources for working with a student. She currently hates doing homework, has a hard time with spelling basic sight words, and is on a 2nd grade reading level. What suggestions do you have for working with this student? Also do you know of a talk to text app she can use to help her with writing? She is very articulate and can synthesize information.

  • My daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia when she was in fifth grade, she is now 19 and taking classes in community college, but she is still struggling in math. She always complains that the class goes too fast and that she can’t keep up. In other classes she is doing a better job. I do not know how I can help her be a success and follow her dreams. What can I do? Thank you so much for your attention.

  • Hello, my son is entering his senior year in high school. He received a low score on his ACT exam on his second official try. We will continue to work with him and to have him retake the test over the next year. How does a student with a 3.2 GPA and a 17 overall score for the ACT exam ever fulfill the dream of attending a school like U of M?

  • My son is attending his first semester at a small private college seminary and has been really struggling with his Spanish class. His older brother who teaches at another college indicated that in visiting with his younger brother he observed symptoms of dyslexia. How does one get an 18-year-old tested and a professional diagnosis made if appropriate? If a diagnosis is made, what is normally done to assist the adult student with learning in college?

  • I am from India. I have been told that I am a dyslexic student. Now I have completed my secondary and senior secondary education by availing extra 1 hour time. Now for my higher studies in Institute of Chartered Accountancy of India, I have applied for time concessions. But they asked me to furnish the document stating whether the disability is of permanent nature and to specify the nature and extend (in terms of percentage) of the disability. I would like to know whether the % of dyslexia can be assessed and who can assess it?

  • I’m the mother of 21 year old. We live in Illinois, my son has never been tested for dyslexia but for all the signs he shows I think he has dyslexia. He recently dropped off college because it was just too hard for him, he had trouble reading and understanding concepts and meeting deadlines to turn in homework. I would greatly appreciate if you can provide me with any information where my son could be tested and get help at low cost; unfortunately we don’t have the money to pay for any private services.
