I have no idea really,But having spent 5 years saying to school that I feel my sons problem with reading and writing is more than related to his speech and language problems Spending the last couple of years suggesting he might be dyslexic as he really struggled to read.My dad and my nephew both have severe dyslexia.I had a massive melt down in school relating to my other children (they are very bright and excellent readers) I ve never ever behaved in this way before I hasten to add but was at the end of my rope.No screaming or shouting just very very assertive.
My son has finally been tried with overlays he says they really help and From the little bit of reading we did this evening they appear to help.Is this right ?Is it really that simple or is my son just saying so so he gets to keep his funky overlay He is eight and just started year 4,his reading and writing is very very behind.Other subjects are fine within normal range and he is not stupid when you speak to him.Although his speech is fairly unclear at times.Any insight would be reassuring either way TIA
