Does my child have dyslexia?
In this article, well discuss a very common
question does my child have dyslexia?

What is dyslexia?
In essence, dyslexia are an information
processing difficulty. It affects reading and
writing skills but it also affects other areas
too. Learners with dyslexia, can experience
differences with processing and remembering
information whether spoken or written. It can
affect attention, memory and processing and some
people may also have difficulty with organization
and sequencing.

The Parent Experience

The truth is that often parents recognize that
there is a difficulty before anyone else. Parents
know their child best, however, sometimes this
feeling is never voiced. Alternatively, some
parents have been trying to tell school that
there is something wrong but have felt not
listened to. Parents often tell us I knew there
was something wrong in Year 1.   This can be
a source of real frustration and confusion. Lots
of parents tell us that they have approached
their school about it and feel unheard or that it
has taken many years of school meetings to get
their voice heard, resulting in lost years of
support.   Every teacher wants the best for
the students in their class, however, the child
who is well behaved, bright and sometimes doesnt
retain their spellings can easily get overlooked.
Adding to this, many teachers dont understand
dyslexia tutors the early warning signs and
characteristics, and how it can present very
differently with individual students.

Communication with your childs school
6
If you, as a parent, do think there is something
different about the way your child learns then of
course, your first port of call should be your
childs school. Conversations with the class
teacher initially are important and then asking
for meetings with the SENCO in the school are
paramount to feeling heard and getting support
for your child.   Schools are usually doing
their best and given enough resources, would
absolutely put in the right support for students
who are struggling. At best, this support often
takes place with a group.   Students who are
struggling with acquiring literacy skills often
need the careful attention of a 11 specialist
online tutoring dyslexia tutor. This is because
each student has different needs and has
individual micro-gaps in their learning profile
that need targeted (laser like) intervention
rather than the broad-brush strokes of school
intervention and assessments.

How can you identify dyslexia?

• Identifying dyslexia early is really key as long
  as action is taken from the identification. Some
  schools offer a screening service, as do we here
