The Inside Scoop: Community Forum
Inquiring minds want to know!

Welcome to YCDC's "Inside Scoop", a place where you can gain insights from others in the dyslexia community and share your experiences. Tell us about what reading programs worked for you, your child, or your students. Pose a question to the community; tell us about schools using thoughtful and effective methods for supporting dyslexic students; tell us about places and programs that might be overrated. We hope that postings will be constructive and helpful to others. We reserve the right to remove material. We will not post contact information, but ask that you leave your email address. The Center may wish to follow up to learn more.

How do you go about separating out the two? Are there specifics that you can recommend? What kind of testing is there to see if the two go hand-in-hand?

Thank you,

Marlene

    Do not allow school systems to primarily focus on ADHD with your dyslexic child.

    The school system has to deal with the dyslexia and that involves more money, more staff, investment into a scientific based reading program, etc.

    If the school focuses on the ADHD, your child could lose in the long run so be careful.
