You can debate all you want who can diagnose it. I am not the girls teacher, but a Reading Specialist. I can diagnose her with dyslexia myself. She defiantly has processing issues, not phonics issues. There are many forms and variations of dyslexia. Dyslexia is not an issue off a student simply not knowing her letters and sounds. This students concerns are more with processing. I was just wanting suggestions of things to try. She is now just this week in the process of being tested to receive services for learning disabilities. Although since dyslexia is technically a medical problem my district and lots of others do not offilciIly diagnose it themselves or qualify student for services because of it. I will contact some of you off the list who have offered to help and have fave ideas. I have some of my own and just wanted to hear what others have done, thanks for the input. Keep any suggestions coming.
